Dean's message

We’re thrilled to kick off another incredible year at the College of Nursing! After a busy and productive summer, we’re diving into the fall semester with 2,156 students – 1,121 undergraduates and 1,035 graduate students – ready to make their mark in nursing and healthcare by answering their calling to care.

As we welcome students into Jane E. Heminger and Newton Halls, we are also welcoming applications for new students to join our college. Applications for our graduate programs are now open. I encourage you to share our website with anyone in your circles who you think might benefit from our top-ranked programs.

It was such a joy meeting the alumni who attended our Dean’s Road Show events in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Thank you for the warm welcome and great conversations! I’m especially proud of our Buckeyes and Brews event organized by our Nursing Alumni Society that raised much-needed funds for student scholarships.

Please mark your calendars to join us at Homecoming on October 3 and 4! We’ll celebrate with a pre-game huddle tailgate, college tours and plenty of Buckeye spirit. It’s a perfect opportunity to reconnect and honor everything that makes our college community so special.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to award scholarships to 44% of the 559 students who applied this year. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Let’s keep the momentum going – my hope is to support 100% of our scholarship applicants, and every gift brings us closer to that goal. If you’re able, I encourage you to contribute to the scholarship fund to continue to support our future Buckeyes.

Many thanks for all you do and all you mean for our college. Here’s to a year full of learning, growth and Buckeye pride!
