    ILLINOISEducating Illinois STATE 2013–2018 UNIVERSITYFISCAL YEAR 2017 PROGRESS REPORT Individualized Attention, Shared Aspirations I am pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2017 Progress Report for Illinois State University’s strategic plan, Educating Illinois 2013-2018: Individualized Attention, Shared Aspirations. The report reflects a wide array of accomplishments the University made in its fourth year of implementing the plan’s goals and strategies. Illinois State continues to thrive as a strong and stable institution in a time of budgetary uncertainty in the state of Illinois. The University community embodies its core values—Pursuit of Learn- ing and Scholarship, Individualized Attention, Diversity, Integrity, and Civic Engagement—and provides supportive and student- centered educational experiences for a high-achieving, diverse, and motivated student body. There is much to celebrate as these achievements represent just a sampling of what makes Illinois State a first-choice institution that is respected nationally. I am very proud to be part of this institution and very much appreciate the diligence, commit- ment, and collaboration of the students, faculty, and staff who made these accom- plishments possible. I look forward to the coming year as Illinois State sets its sights on a new strategic plan that will lead the University to even more success. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Illinois State University community, Larry H. Dietz President, Illinois State University INTRODUCTION Educating Illinois 2013-2018: Individualized Attention, Shared Aspirations guides Illinois State University and provides a road map for the institution through its vision, values, goals, and strategies. Over the past four years, Educating Illinois has led the University to many achievements and demonstrated Illinois State’s position as a leader and first-choice institution among students, faculty, and staff.

When you ask someone what they think of when discussing what a nurse looks like, a majority of people would picture a woman. Over the years the profession is seeing an increasing amount of men deciding to break this stereotype. Being a male, I can say that the reason I chose to pursue a degree/career in nursing is not to break this stereotype but instead, I chose this profession because it allows me the opportunity to help others when they need help the most.
