Named the University’s Outstanding Alumni Society of the Year in both 2010 and 2006, the Nursing Alumni Society’s mission is to foster a community of nursing students, alumni and faculty that enriches the professional lives of our members and strengthens the School.
This alumni community: - Creates connections and opportunities among alumni, undergraduate and graduate nursing students.
