HGrubbs: Honors 255 Week 1 Intro

     My name is Hailey Grubbs and I am a sophomore Nursing BSN major. So far, I am really excited for the class! I can't wait to see how this curriculum expands my views and experiences, and helps me dive into the humanities and fine arts more so from an academic and critical perspective.
