Hondros College: Nursing News
Dayton campus expanding for the second time in 2011
July 22, 2011
Hondros College broke ground this summer on an additional building at the Dayton/Fairborn campus. The building will house administrative and faculty offices, additional classrooms, a tutoring center, testing stations, and student study areas. Oberer Realty is the construction manager on the project.
This is the second campus expansion at the Fairborn branch in 2011. Earlier this year, additional classroom space was added to the primary building. The expansion provides needed space to students and faculty in the nursing and real estate programs at Hondros College.
The College added an Associate Degree in Nursing program at the Dayton campus this year, providing students who have already completed the Practical Nursing program the opportunity to further their education for an in-demand industry in Ohio.
The building is slated to open in time for the Fall (October) 2011 quarter.

Hondros Graduate on CBS's "Undercover Boss"
April 20, 2011
Lisa Whittaker, a 2009 graduate of Hondros College, was recently featured on the popular CBS reality series "Undercover Boss" that broadcast this past Sunday, April 17 on the CBS Television Network.
Whittaker, who is employed as a Licensed Practical Nurse at BrightStar Care in Centerville, participated in a job swap with her company's undercover CEO, Shelly Sun. During the episode, Sun learned firsthand just how valuable and hard working her employees are. As a result of Whittaker's exceptional job performance that the CEO experienced while training with her, Whittaker has been rewarded with a life-changing prize package, including a honeymoon trip for her husband and her family, paying her mortgage for six months, and providing tuition for her to return to the Hondros College of Nursing this summer to pursue her goal of becoming a Registered Nurse.
“Hondros College of Nursing always made me feel like part of the family when I was enrolled in the LPN program,” Whittaker said. “Hondros was there with me through the ups and downs, and I am excited to continue my education and return this summer.”
Prior to beginning her career in nursing, Whittaker was employed at General Motors, but was laid off when the plant closed. Whittaker chose to follow her dreams of becoming a nurse.
"Hondros College is excited that Lisa has decided to return to our Fairborn campus this summer to begin her Associate Degree in Nursing,” said Dean Debbie Ulrich. “Lisa is a stellar student, and we are proud that she is a Hondros Nurse. We are excited to welcome her back in July."
