A recent WLUK report featured Concordia University Wisconsin faculty and staff as expert voices in a timely conversation about federal changes affecting nursing education.
Their inclusion underscored Concordia’s role as a trusted resource on issues that directly impact students, the health care workforce, and access to advanced nursing degrees. Check out the Green Bay station’s television segment here.
Jessica Leiberg, dean of the School of Nursing, provided perspective grounded in academic leadership and real-world experience. She addressed the potential challenges created by lower federal borrowing limits while also affirming the strong sense of calling that continued to draw students to the nursing profession — particularly in the face of ongoing workforce shortages.
The broadcast also included insight from Kevin Sheridan, assistant vice president of Financial Aid and Student Accounts, who helped explain how the policy shift could affect students and families navigating graduate education costs. His comments brought clarity to a complex issue and reflected Concordia’s commitment to supporting learners with transparency and care.
Together, their voices reflected Concordia’s mission in action — engaging thoughtfully with public issues and advocating for students through informed, compassionate leadership.
