Looking to the Future

The School of Nursing will soon have a new home. Skinner Hall, this beautiful building will consolidate the school's resources-classrooms, the learning resource center, faculty and administrative offices, and conference space-in one attractive building.

The School of Nursing is committed to the professional challenges of meeting diverse health-care needs through the complexity of modern health-care delivery systems. This commitment translates into emphasis on both the technical demands of competent nursing practice and awareness of the holistic needs of all kinds of patients. Continuous evaluation and revision of the School's educational programs are designed to ensure that they remain accessible, challenging, and completely up-to-date.

Dramatic advances in genetics, biotechnology, disease prevention, and management of chronic illness are beginning to transform the already demanding field of health care. The School of Nursing, its students, and its graduates are already preparing for the challenges that future will bring.
