“ There is no question that my nursing education at Cedarville shaped my professional practice as a novice nurse. More importantly, however, it cemented an indelible connection between my personal and professional life. That connection is made by character, a character formed and framed by faith in Jesus Christ. Devon M. Berry ’95, Ph.D. Director for the School of Nursing at Sam Houston State University “ I am so blessed to have received my nursing education at Cedarville University in an unapologetically Christian environment where my professors poured into me as a Christfollower first and as a nursing student second. They led me, through their example, to become the most well-prepared and caring nurse that I could be. I cannot imagine what my life would have looked like had Cedarville not announced their brand-new B.S.N. degree in 1982. I am forever grateful to have been a part of the inaugural class.
