This Spring, the School of Nursing is offering 2 Spring Interest Groups (SPRIGs)! SPRIGs are similar to FIGs, but with two important differences. Like a FIG, each SPRIG is anchored by a small seminar taught by the instructor who comes up with the idea for the SPRIG. The differences are that this course is linked to only one other class and any undergraduate (not just first-years) can take the set.
