Kettering College’s interprofessional education (IPE) simulation center team recently held an all-day disaster simulation event for senior nursing students to offer them insight into the protocol of a mass casualty event. The event is part of Kettering College’s nursing curriculum to allow students the chance to learn critical skills for disaster response and patient care, while being surrounded by chaos.
Kettering College (KC) is pleased to announce the launch of a partnership with Wilberforce University. This strategic collaboration will give Wilberforce University graduates the opportunity to seamlessly begin their nursing education through the accelerated four-semester degree track at Kettering College.
Graduates will have the opportunity to transition to KC’s A-BSN program from Wilberforce University to Kettering College after completion of required coursework. This partnership reflects both institutions’ dedication to addressing the national nursing shortage by preparing a new generation of highly qualified nurses, with a focus on increasing diversity within healthcare.

Professor Daniel Schoun has taught chemistry, physics, and math at Kettering College. He’s been a teacher his entire career, which is a surprise to him, considering he envisioned himself working in research. But he learned early on to trust God and to obediently go where he has felt he was being called.
A unique aspect of Dan’s 42-year career is that he has taken only jobs that have come to him. He says, “I’ve never gotten a job because I applied for it.” His driving force in life is listening for God’s voice. He admits he sometimes might argue with God, but, ultimately, Dan patiently listens to where he feels he is needed and acts on it.
