Donilon, who received her masters degree from the University of Minnesota, joined the college three years ago, after working at FHP as a nurse practitioner for a year. undergraduate work at the of where she reMassachusetts, University ceived her bachelors in Nursing. She was going to go into child development but decided that wasn't the field for her. Donilon did her She came to Utah because there are more nursing opportunities here than in Boston where she graduated. I love the outdoors and Utah also had that to offer. Her favorite outdoor sports include hiking, skiing and camping. Donilon likes the smallness of Westminster. She has always gone to large universities where many students attend. Here you have the opportunity to get to know each student and faculty member more than at a larger college, stated Donilon. i She commented that the School of Nursing, where she instructs students, is very supportive of what she does. The other faculty members are pretty close. They spend a lot of time together and often do things socially together. According to Donilon, she earned her nursing experience by first working at the Minnesota Health Department and then in Utah at FHP doing clinical work. She also works summers at the Salt Lake County Health Department There is a possibility that Donilon will be next semester. She plans to going part-tim- e work part-tim- e at the Salt Lake County Health Department as a nurse practitioner and work the other half at the college. She is not definite about this decision yet, but sees it as a possibility and an opportunity to broaden her skills at nursing. During the last few years when the college was going through some difficult times, Donilon states that she never worried about the situation of the college. I didnt worry about the school closing. I had heard that it had had some financial problems before so I felt we could make it through it again. She also mentioned that being in the area of nursing has a lot more job flexibility than other career positions. She just stays relaxed and doesnt worry. As a single person, she uses the chance to travel quite a bit. Last summer she went to Europe. She loves to travel around the United States and Utah, especially southern Utah. Donilon tries her best to enjoy life at its best She keeps busy but at the same time remains calm and relaxed in all she does. if" " cjr"'V. Students Voice Needs Through UIA Continued from page 1 Information and applications for UIA can be obtained at the ASWC office in the Shaw Center, said Haegen. UIA is an excellent experience for students. With the caliber of students Westminster has had, and the enthusiasm theyve shown, the lobbying efforts should continue to be highly effective in upcoming Utah Legislative Sessions. She added that she has enjoyed her experience with UIA and feels that all students would gain from involvement in it Carter said that many people tend to ignore the value of being a U I A staff member. He said that the jobs that UIA staff members handle are imperative to the smooth running of the assembly. , - Its like a play, Carter said, the actors are important, but without the lighting, the sound, the props or the costumes, the show would not really go on. Carter added that he felt students should recognize the importance of participation in studentorganizations from all possible actions. Robinson also said that students need to understand that the voice of UIA is listened to by state legislators. "They know that students are products of the system, said Robinson, "We are the future of the system. Legislators want to hear what we have to say. Most of the delegates agreed with Robinson that UIA is an important and effective way for students to voice what they feel should be happening in government. Marnie Vanderbeek, senator from the College of Eastern Utah, said, Through UIA student interests can be heard. We create bills about things we think students need. She added, We are trying to get the bills passed at UIA so that we can lobby them in congress. Greg Richins, president of the UIA senate, said, I think UIA is an excellent program with a lot of potential. But students need a better understanding of what UIA is all about. Haegen said that she also felt more information should be communicated to students about the UIA program and added that Westminster begins its selection for delegation chair in the spring, and delegation selection for senators, representatives and staff is made in the fall of each year.
