Homecoming week has begun! This year’s theme is “Mad About Plaid,” and three offices have decorated their doors for the Homecoming door decorating contest. We ask voters to consider the theme as the main criteria for selecting a winner, but to also consider overall appearance and use of red/blue as well.

Vote for your favorite! Voting will end Thursday, Feb. 7 at 5 p.m.

Nursing

The idea around nursing’s decorated door was born from the concept of how basketball players (and athletes in general) are very much like nurses with regards to drive, discipline and teamwork. Once we did a little research on this concept, we learned that many nursing schools had basketball teams well into the 1970s. We took the opportunity to incorporate this fun fact on our door by including a photo of a basketball team of student nurses from Grace Hospital in Detroit, Mich. in 1924.
