The 25 middle school girls who attended Feb. 28 and the 28 who attended March 22 heard guest speakers from The Citadel and the College of Charleston share stories about overcoming adversity, setting and meeting goals and learning about careers in cosmetology.  The students were encouraged to participate in question and answer sessions held in small groups and led by the nursing students who worked with them setting personal goals. Volunteers, who worked under Dr. Marilyn King in her Community Nursing course, said that the students were receptive to the topics and believe that positive role models are essential for young girls.
