Ensuring forward-thinking faculty

To fully leverage our scientific potential and attract field-shaping faculty, the School of Nursing must have new sources of funding. Recruitment of accomplished nurse scientists is highly competitive as a surge in retirements of seasoned faculty is occurring. Forward-thinking faculty drive the success of our research, education and outreach initiatives. They attract and teach hundreds of nursing students over the course of their careers, making their impact on health lasting and exponential.

Support of nursing faculty will enable us to create additional endowed chairs and professorships to recruit and retain outstanding researchers and educators, which also increases our ability to recruit and prepare top students and attract funding for ground-breaking faculty-led research programs.
