MSOE nursing students help those in need

MSOE students were actively involved in the design of the new medical clinic at Repairers of the Breach (ROTB) homeless shelter in Milwaukee. MSOE’s School of Nursing began a partnership with ROTB in 2007. Since that time, several clinical groups (and dozens of MSOE nursing students) have worked at ROTB doing health assessments, screenings and referrals.

The new space was designed in part by industrial engineering graduate Chris Maramba ’09, who completed the AutoCad drawings reflecting design elements collaboratively developed by several volunteers, including MSOE Professor Emeritus Lawrence Korta.

The clinic was funded by private donations totaling $90,000 and serves the entire community. Through collaboration with Dr. Merlita Biese and MacCanon Brown at ROTB, this partnership has provided valuable real-world experience to MSOE students.
