On April 14, Dr. Randy Jones, a 1998 Hampden-Sydney College graduate and current Assistant Professor of Nursing at the University of Virginia, visited the H-SC Biology Department to present a talk entitled “A Career Path Unforeseen.”\u00a0 Dr. Jones’s talk focused on his experiences and career path decisions\u00a0he faced during\u00a0his high school years, his 4 years at Hampden-Sydney College, and his postgraduate work, and he concluded with remarks about those decisions that he is still facing today as he continues his research and education in nursing as a faculty member at UVA.\u00a0 Dr. Jones has received numerous\u00a0honors and\u00a0awards for his teaching and research, including funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Psychosocial Oncology Society.\u00a0 Most recently, he\u00a0received a $350,000 grant from the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation as Principal Investigator of a research project that aims to evaluate a decision aid for advanced prostate cancer patients and their support persons that is designed to facilitate\u00a0decisions about treatment that affect quality of life. \u00a0His enthusiasm for his work and his insights\u00a0into preparation for a\u00a0scientific career after life at H-SC were both inspirational and informative to students and faculty alike.\u00a0 Dr. Jones is the embodiment of\u00a0“the Hampden-Sydney man,” and his\u00a0endless successes are proof that “you really can do anything with a degree from Hampden-Sydney!”<\/p>\n
