Earlier this semester, WSU nursing faculty members Christina Glennen, Dorene Owen and Veronica Ramos-Blanford led a hands-on childcare class for members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. The session aimed to introduce students to the fundamentals of infant care, equipping them with the skills and confidence to care for a child.
Participants learned essential topics such as feeding, swaddling, diapering, car seat safety, how to take an infant’s temperature and more. The interactive class included practice with newborn-size manikins to simulate real-life scenarios.
The class was part of Sigma Phi Epsilon’s “Challenge Class” series, which are events designed to equip members with practical life skills that support their personal growth and independence after college. Other topics in the series include cooking, automotive maintenance, time management and goal setting.
