Faith and Learning
At CCU, Pancoast integrates faith and learning by infusing her teaching with a Christian worldview. She believes in nurturing a supportive environment where students not only gain academic knowledge but also grow spiritually and morally. By integrating faith into education, she aims to inspire students to approach nursing not as nurses who happen to be Christians, but as Christians who happen to be nurses, emphasizing compassion, integrity, and a commitment to serving others. This holistic approach reflects the values of CCU, preparing students to make a profound impact in their profession and beyond.
