We start Orientation this evening with a social event. The actual nuts and bolts don't really start until tomorrow morning. They will contue until Saturday afternoon when we are taking the students and faculty sailing ona catamaran.

Classes start on Monday morning.

The Grand Opening will not be until Tuesday, May 13th. Dr. and Mrs. Ross are coming down with a number of the family members to commemorate the opening of UMHS.

Legit? If your concerned if it's legit, take 5 minutes and go to the website and see the pictures of the facilities. The campus is better than many of the other universities. Plus I believe there was a post, a while back concerning "pictures"
I love how everyone thinks they have to have a cynical tone when posting here!

Just to keep the record straight, those "locals" are actually male nursing students and are not from St. Kitts. What I'm having trouble figuring out is why the license plate is backwards!

I would agree with Melsworth21 that you only have to go to the website to see actual photos of the school. In another post I have listed the pages and pictures that are real. In those pictures, students are also real. They are not actors or stand-ins.

There is detailed information regarding the faculty at the UMHS website: Welcome - UMHS. Please feel free to go read about the faculty. The faculty that are listed there are all permanent, although one will not teach at UMHS until fourth semester and another will be shared with our sister school, IUON. We will only be using visiting faculty to teach areas in which they bring specialized expertise. The faculty listed on the website are all all currently living in St. Kitts and are in the office daily.

No one wants to publicize the rotation sites as much as I do. As soon as I get the OK, I will list them here and they will also go onto our website.

I was a little confused by the comment about the ex-president. Maybe I am reading too much into the comment but it almost sounded like you thought I or someone else had said that he was NOT the ex-president of Ross University. Your assumption is correct.
