College of Nursing

The College of Nursing New Opportunity Fund supports the Dean's vision to create a more vibrant community of nurse scientists, educators and practitioners who will continue to carry out our mission to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities throughout the world.

 

Gifts to this fund have supported student travel and scholarships as well as improved faculty/staff workspace. It has also allowed the dean to assist faculty and programs when new opportunities arise requiring immediate funds.

 

By helping us, we can build healthier communities through patient-centered, evidence-based care. We can inspire the next generation of nurse leaders and scholars.
