Biography

Hannah Crosby, BA, RYT - Assistant Director of the Compassionate Care Initiative (CCI) - earned a BA in Communication Studies from the College of Wooster (Ohio) and began working at the School of Nursing shortly therafter. Over the years, she has had many roles at the School, including a communications intern, a program manager for federally-funded grants, and an administrative coordinator for global initiatives, prior transitioning to her current role with CCI.
