The School of Nursing is recognized for its strong educational programs that prepare exceptional nurses for a safe and effective professional practice. We are proud of our consistently high pass rates on licensing and certification exams and many other stories of student success, satisfaction and engagement. Our success is a result of a faculty committed to delivering high quality nursing education using innovative teaching methods, our relationships with our clinical partners, and the generosity of our alumni and friends.

Please join us in celebrating over 50 years of academic excellence and Give2ODU Day 2022 by showing your support for the future of nursing! Your generosity is essential to maintaining quality in education, cutting edge scholarship and compassionate service to the community, all of which are the cornerstones of the School of Nursing at ODU.

Every gift, no matter its size, makes a significant difference and helps us achieve our mission of transforming healthcare by preparing exceptional nurses, extending nursing science, and partnering with our global community. Your continued support enables us to weather such storms as the COVID-19 pandemic and increases in programmatic costs and supports us in finding creative solutions to teaching and learning challenges.

I am hopeful we can count on you to help build the foundation for brighter futures, health equity, community service, and high-quality patient care.

My door is always open. If you have questions, concerns, comments or ideas you would like to share, please reach out to me at any time.

Best wishes,
