For the past 25 years, professor Maureen Tippen, has taken more than 250 University of Michigan-Flint nursing students on service-learning journeys to Africa, Asia and Latin America. From providing clinical trainings in orphanages and educating nurses and laypeople about CPR in Cambodia to developing a partnership with a safe house to serve women escaping life in the sex trade and giving instructions on how to prevent Zika virus in the Dominican Republic, Tippen has built international partnerships in Peru, India, Kenya, Laos and elsewhere, always supporting the community’s needs.
