March 24, 2011 Jessie Klauder finds a swimming regimen that treats the whole student By Nick Dawson Jessie Klauder ’11 made the decision a year ago. During J-Term of her senior year, Klauder would participate in the School of Nursing’s first study away program in China, where she would take a class called Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Washington, all of our students, regardless of their immigration status, are invaluable to the teaching we provide in our classrooms, the research we perform in our labs, and the discoveries we make in medicine.
