ETBU SCHOOL of NURSING Marshall EDC Contributes to ETBU Planned Nursing School Expansion FOR RELEASE ON: August 24, 2018 Donna Maisel Marshall Economic Development Corporation (903) 934-8035 [email protected] THE GRAND MARSHALL : ETBU SCHOOL OF NURSING Marshall EDC contributes to ETBU planned nursing school expansion Marshall, Texas: Marshall Economic Development Corporation (Marshall EDC) announced it has secured a grant agreement with East Texas Baptist University (ETBU), for partial funding of workforce training equipment at the ETBU School of Nursing. Marshall EDC has agreed to allocate $200,000 toward the purchase of training related equipment to be located in the nursing school expansion project. The estimated $2.75 million expansion project by ETBU will occupy and revitalize the Marshall Grand, formerly known as Hotel Marshall. Refurbishment plans are already underway. The expansion will allow ETBU’s nursing program to nearly double in size. Additionally, 3 new instructors will be hired. Equipment to be purchased includes training mannequins, headboards, beds, gurneys, cameras, and computer simulation equipment. Three floors of the Marshall Grand are being re-designed for simulation labs, skills labs, testing centers, classrooms, and offices for the nursing program. Marshall EDC will provide funding for the equipment as invoiced documentation is provided. Marshall EDC unanimously approved the expenditure of $200,000 on July 29, 2018. The Marshall City Commission unanimously provided final approval of the expenditure over $50,000 by Marshall EDC, during their meeting held on August 23, 2018. Dr. Blair Blackburn, President of ETBU came forward during discussion to note: “The majority of our nursing students are from the East Texas area and choose to stay within the area for work after completion of their studies. Not only does this provide greater access to heavily demanded workforce skills, but it will also means more students and people in the downtown area.” Donna Maisel, CEcD, Executive Director of Marshall EDC commented: “The decision to support ETBU was driven by the Board of Director’s desire to partner and support our local institutions of higher education including Wiley College, TSTC, Panola College – Marshall, and ETBU. To that end, Marshall EDC has reached out and met with each entity of higher education and workforce training to find ways in which we may all benefit. Creating stronger institutions and educations for our citizens benefits not just the institutions, but also the current and future growth of the City of Marshall.” The ETBU School of Nursing received its 4th consecutive 100% pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination and its RN program was recently ranked 8th in Texas by RegisteredNursing.org. Marshall EDC looks forward to this partnership and seeing the nationally recognized program grow along with the City of Marshall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About East Texas Baptist University: East Texas Baptist University was founded in 1912 as the College of Marshall.

  • Mason Jerry Barrett Was Born August 18, 1904, in Marshall, Texas, To
    1 Professor Mason Jerry “M.J.” Barrett Professor Mason Jerry Barrett was born August 18, 1904, in Marshall, Harrison County, Texas, to the union of Edwin Roberts Barrett and Della Rhone Barrett. Prof. Barrett was their first child to survive infancy. He was named after the attending physician, Dr. Mason James Snowden. Dr. Snowden, who was married to Fannie J. Barrett, Prof. Barrett’s aunt and sister of his father, graduated from Meharry Medical College in 1888, and was one of the first, if not the first, African-American physicians in Marshall, Texas. Prior to enrolling in Meharry, Dr. Snowden had worked at the Oakland Normal School, a leading teacher-training institution for African-Americans in Oakland, Colorado County, Texas. Prof. Barrett was also named after his paternal grandfather, Jerry Barrett, a former slave from Alabama. Prof. Barrett had two sisters, Anna Eva Barrett Brown and Charlotte Barrett Sanders, and a beloved nephew, Julius E. “Sonnie” Sanders. It appears that education was a key component focused on by the Barrett family. Just a few years out of slavery, his paternal grandmother, Charlotte Lane Barrett of Leesburg, Loudoun County Virginia, attended and graduated from the renowned Bordentown School in New Jersey. Bordentown School was founded by the late Rev. Walter Rice, grandfather of former National Security Advisor under President Barack Obama, Susan Rice. U.S. Census records show that Grandmother Barrett was a nurse. Born and raised in a city and county that at one time had the highest population of slaves in the state of Texas, Professor Barrett’s childhood was not without incident as his father, Edwin Roberts Barrett, had to leave his home and family after resisting, expressing and voicing his opposition to racial discrimination and racial harassment in Marshall, only able to return in “the dark of the night” to visit his family.

  • ETBU School of Nursing Achieves Fifth Consecutive 100% NCLEX Pass Rate
    ETBU School of Nursing Achieves Fifth Consecutive 100% NCLEX Pass Rate The East Texas Baptist University School of Nursing has attained a 100 percent pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for the fifth consecutive year. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) recently confirmed that all ETBU Spring 2019 nursing graduates passed the NCLEX. “We are grateful to ETBU Dean of the School of Nursing Rebekah Grigsby, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Thomas Sanders, and their excellent team of Christian nurse scholars,” ETBU President J. Blair Blackburn said. “These faculty and staff dedicate themselves to teaching, training, and equipping our nursing students to become registered nurses. These graduates represent the ETBU distinctive of integrating faith and learning – nurses with skilled hands and caring hearts.” With the continued success of the ETBU School of Nursing, the program is developing further by relocating to the historic Marshall Grand in downtown Marshall. This renovation is an investment in student innovation, sustainable growth for the nursing program, and the City of Marshall and East Texas region. The expansion to the Marshall Grand will also allow the University to launch graduate programs in nursing education and speech pathology this next year. “2019 marks our fifth year in a row of achieving a 100% pass rate on the RN-NCLEX® Exam. As I reflect on this accomplishment for our school, my immediate thought goes to each student who had that first moment of seeing their results, this is truly an unforgettable moment for each of them. It represents commitment, hard work, and a calling to our nursing profession, shared by the students and our nursing faculty,” Dr.
