Making a Difference for 100 Years
Our centennial celebrates the School of Nursing’s first 100 years, future Badger nurse leaders, and the school’s impact on improving health for all—now and in the future.
For our students, alumni, and faculty, nursing is far more than a career—it is a call to care and an opportunity to serve, with the potential to change lives.
We’ve been doing this for almost 100 years. And now it’s time to do even more.
