NURSING. LEADERSHIP. IMPACT

At the Andy and Barbara Gessner College of Nursing, we are dedicated to advancing healthcare through student success, clinical excellence and the development of future nurse leaders. On Giving Day, we invite you to join us in honoring 10 incredible years of shaping compassionate, career-ready nurses. Your support makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and the patients they will serve. Learn more about how we are celebrating a Decade of Dedication.

FRIENDS OF NURSING FUND

Together, we can celebrate a decade of impact and ensure future nurses have the tools and encouragement they need to thrive. The Friends of Nursing Fund helps the Gessner College of Nursing meet its greatest needs while removing barriers and strengthening student success. Your gift supports scholarships, uniforms, simulation supplies and meals during intensive training, and special events such as new student orientation, the Hands of Caring Ceremony and Coffee with the Dean.

Your generosity could also make a meaningful impact at these levels:

  • $400 supports student conference travel
  • $500 provides a Cougar Nursing Scholarship naming opportunity
  • $1,000 supports the nurse-managed UH Health Clinic

Celebrate a Decade of Dedication by supporting the Friends of Nursing Fund today.
