Advancing the Future

The College of Nursing, a National League for Nursing Center of Excellence in Nursing Education, enjoys an international reputation for superior programs and graduates. Collaborating with our colleagues, we will continue to develop distinguished nursing alumni through our undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as our continuing education programming, that will influence health care in all parts of the globe. The future is bright.

As of March 1, 2007, the new College of Nursing building is under construction. By summer 2008, this state-of-the-art facility opens to educate the next generation of nurses. It will support student learning in technology-driven clinical simulation labs and enhance an environment for learning, teaching and scholarship.  It will provide an atmosphere that stimulates advancing the future of nursing. We invite you to join us in supporting this new building initiative.

“This facility is not about brick and mortar. It is about what will happen inside—fostering the intellectual climate and continuing to cultivate a mature, energetic professional school with a commitment to the preparation of clinical experts and leaders for health care within the context of a values-driven liberal arts education.”

M. Louise Fitzpatrick, Ed.D., R.N., FAAN Connelly Endowed Dean and Professor
