New York State Regent, Wade Norwood, toured the Elmira College campus on Tuesday, June 1, as part of a visit to the Southern Tier.
Norwood currently serves as an at-large member of New York State's Board of Regents, which presides over both the New York State Education Department and the University of the State of New York. The Regents are responsible for all elementary, secondary, and postsecondary educational institutions, libraries, museums, public broadcasting, records and archives, the licensed professions, and vocational and educational services for individuals with disabilities. Norwood co-chairs the Board's Standing Committee on the Professions and its Common Core Learning Standards Work Group.
"It was an honor to host Regent Norwood on our beautiful campus," said Charles Lindsay, president of Elmira College. "As a medical professional, he had a special interest in our nursing simulation labs. These state-of-the-art labs include mannequins that simulate adult, pediatric, and maternity patients - complete with vocal interactions and bodily functions. This provides our nursing students with a life-like interaction that helps prepare them for working with patients in the clinicals and post-graduation."
Norwood is Chief Executive Officer of Common Ground Health (formerly the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency), and in addition to touring the EC nursing facilities in Cowles Hall, he also toured the LECOM facility, located one block south of the EC campus. Elmira College's Early Acceptance Program with LECOM offers incoming EC students an opportunity to apply, interview, and receive a letter of acceptance to the medical school as part of their acceptance to EC. LECOM offers reserved spots for EC students in their medical, pharmacy, and dental programs.
A long-time fan of Mark Twain, Norwood also took time to visit Quarry Farm, home to Twain's in-laws and where Twain and his family spent more than 20 summers. The Mark Twain Study, now located on campus, was originally located at Quarry Farm and is the study in which the famous author penned The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and other iconic works. USA Today named the Mark Twain Study one of the nation's top ten literary landmarks and Quarry Farm was named one of New York State's literary landmarks by United for Libraries and the Empire State Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Library of Congress Center for the Book.
