Campaign update
Wow! We have arrived at the end of the Ever True Campaign, and to see the School of Nursing now compared to when the campaign started in 2012 … just wow! We’ve seen the undergraduate program double, added the Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program, added the PhD program, had some emotional retirements, and welcomed some amazing faculty to the School of Nursing family. We are here thanks to so many people and the vision they imparted on the program; but to say we have arrived would be wrong. The School of Nursing is a rocket ready to take off … and here at Purdue, we’re pretty good at making sure we reach the moon!
So, what’s next? Well, it’s no secret that a new facility that is supportive of the research, program needs and future for the School of Nursing is a vital next step. But this will not happen without your support. We will need the support of our alumni and friends to see this goal come to fruition. Like you, I’m passionate about the School of Nursing, and I’m excited to be part of the rocket that will be taking off. We will reach the moon, and I hope you’ll be part of that journey. I look forward to meeting even more Boilermaker faithful this coming year. Boiler Up!
