hosted a Taft Seminar for the past
21 years.

for a limited number of slots."
The students, who/are high
school sophomores, juniors and se-

Campbell said.
"The University is very fortunate
to have such strong interest in this
program from some of North
Carolina's brightest high school
students," said Dr, H. Garland
Hershey, vice chancellor for health
affairs. "The institute is an impor-
“ant opportunity to expose them to
a profession that needs their tal-
ents."

Chapel Hill, the students got
hands-on experience with basic
nursing skills. They examined the
wide variety of nursing roles cur-
