Letter from the Nursing Alumni Society President
Celebrating Excellence in Buckeye Nursing
We’re proud to share that the Nursing Alumni Society has been named The Ohio State University Alumni Association’s 2025 Outstanding Society of the Year! This honor recognizes our commitment to impactful programming, innovation, and community engagement. We were also named a Distinguished Alumni Society for the 10th consecutive year—a testament to the dedication of our board and the College of Nursing Advancement team.
We also celebrate two incredible alumni:
- Peggy Agle (BSN ’81) received the OSUAA Pay-It-Forward Award for her selfless service and lasting impact on our community.
- Loletia Davis (BSN ’13) was honored with the 2025 Catalyst of Change Award for her work bringing mobile clinics and health education to underserved communities.
As we begin a new academic year, we invite you to support the Lighting of the Lamp Ceremony, a cherished tradition welcoming new nursing students. A gift of $30 to the College of Nursing Student Support Fund helps sponsor this event and supports the next generation of Buckeye nurses. give.osu.edu/lightthelamp
Join us for Homecoming Weekend, October 3–4! A few major events include:
- Friday: Healthy Cooking Demo, networking and a Lunch-and-Learn with Emily Funk (BSN ’05)
- Saturday: Our spirited Pre-Game Huddle in Heminger Hall before the Buckeyes take on Minnesota
Lastly, I encourage you to consider running for a leadership position or nominating a fellow alumni member whom you believe would contribute significantly to our Society. These positions offer an incredible opportunity to drive positive change and make a lasting impact on our college. You can find information about the election process, how to submit nominations (including self-nominations) and the election timeline on the How to Join page. The application to be a board member is at this link.
Thank you for your continued support—Go Bucks!
