The celebration is hosted by the College of Education and Health Professions Boyer Center for Student Services advising team. Henderson, who advises pre-nursing and pre-public health students, has been a registered nurse since 1975.
Her clinical experience includes 24 years in a local hospital, serving as a medical-surgical nurse, nurse manager, relief supervisor, clinical educator and community health programming director.
