"I am so grateful we were blessed with iPads for our nursing school journey. It's the exact tool I didn't know I needed. I use it daily for note taking, studying, and communicating with my cohort. As a SMU nursing student and a mother of two little ones, funds can get tight, purchasing an iPad was not in my budget. I am proud to be an SMU student knowing that they are actively trying to achieve digital equality among their students, to help give us all the tools we need to be successful."
