Harper College will be closed Monday, May 26, in observance of Memorial Day.
Harper College Health Careers welcomed Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Gretchen Evans
on August 25, 2023 for the Fall semester Interprofessional Education Immersion Day.
She spoke to 130 students from 8 different health careers programs about resilience
and the power of hope. Her inspiring story highlighted her impressive 27-year military
career, which was ended suddenly by an injury that left her with a traumatic brain
injury and the loss of her hearing. Afterwards, Gretchen visited The Center for Student
Veterans and Military-Connected Students on campus. The health career students participated
in interprofessional breakout groups following the presentation to discuss teamwork,
collaboration and how to address hopelessness in patients.
