Dear Alumni Ambassadors,

Summer is busy in the College of Nursing. We are preparing for another highly qualified freshman class to join us in a few weeks as we say goodbye to our second class of BSNExpress students. Our new BSN graduates have been calling to share their good news about passing boards and we are readying for talented new faculty to join us in the coming semester. 

Please continue to let us know of events and opportunities in your institutions. College of Nursing students as well as local nurses and health care organizations have benefited from partnerships between Villanova and those agencies. Often, the genesis of those relationships has been ideas from alumni like you! In the past, we have created unique clinical experiences, custom courses and educational events for and with our partners.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you and your colleagues at our fall Open Houses!
