ÐßÐßÂþ»­ will celebrate the expansion of its St. Cloud Campus with a ribbon-cutting and open house event on Wednesday, Sept. 15 from 2-4 p.m. The $1 million expansion was officially completed in the summer of 2020 and doubled the College’s existing learning spaces for nursing students.

The construction project enhanced technology in existing classrooms and added a nursing simulation center with multiple acute care and ambulatory care rooms, break-out rooms for student pre-briefing and post-briefing sessions and a common room for faculty. A new 36-seat classroom is being used for nursing classes as well as ÐßÐßÂþ»­â€™s education program and other offerings.

The new space also includes nursing skills labs on the first floor and simulation labs on the second floor. The flexible high-tech spaces can simulate a variety of care settings, from a home care scenario to a hospital room or clinic, providing rich hands-on learning experiences for students.

The open house will feature remarks from President Barbara McDonald, Dean of the School of Nursing Dr. Sheryl Sandahl, as well as a blessing from Associate Vice President for Mission Integration Sister Kathleen Del Monte. The event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is requested. To sign up, please contact Katie Wayne, kwayne@css.edu.

ÐßÐßÂþ»­â€™s St. Cloud campus, located at 137 23rd Street South in Sartell, Minnesota, offers a mix of on-campus and online courses, primarily in undergraduate and graduate nursing. The College has been offering programs here since 2002.
