The College of Nursing is committed to fostering a culture of academic opportunity and an environment in which all qualified students are successful in the classroom and the healthcare workplace.
Under the direction of the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, the Student Services Office offers robust wrap-around student support services to all nursing students.
