Mercer on Mission
Georgia Baptist College of Nursing was fortunate to have eight students and two nursing faculty members participate in the Mercer on Mission 2009 trip to Thailand! During their 21 day visit to Thailand, students were challenged to learn about the country, as well as social and health-related issues. The trip was led by Dr. William F. Bina, Dean and Chair of the Department of Community Medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine. Other faculty members accompanying students on the trip included: Professor Gayle Bina, Mercer University School of Medicine and nursing faculty members: Dr. Brenda
Rowe and Professor Ginger Mize. Mrs. Srisomporn Suangkaew, Director of College,
presented the hand painted plate to
Bill Bina (who then later presented it to GBCN).
