Dr. Sandra Davidson is a proud double Zag. When she first started her Gonzaga journey in 1998 in the Master of Science in Nursing Nurse Educator program, there were very few distance education options for nurses. Though the Gonzaga MSN program looked very different in the 90's, it was considered innovative for the time. Davidson reminisced that weekly classes were recorded in a classroom, where on-campus students made up the live-studio audience. VHS tapes were sent to her via mail and she would watch the recorded lectures when the tapes arrived - one week later. Davidson would also travel to Gonzaga several times during the semester to attend on campus classes.
