Campaign Priorities for the School of Nursing
That's why, to shape the future we want, we need to do something now. The top-ranked University of Washington School of Nursing is prepared to address the most pressing nursing challenges affecting our communities. Our obstacle? In an era of challenging state budget cuts, we need the resources to better respond to students' needs and prepare the next generation of nurses for the complexities of practice, education and research today and tomorrow. To enable the brightest nursing students to build their careers, find and retain outstanding educators, and support world-class nurse researchers and their programs, we need your help. The beneficiaries of this vision will be our families, our friends, the community, the nation, and the world. Together, we are creating futures. The impact will be greater than perhaps any of us can imagine, profoundly touching thousands of lives. Campaign Goal for the School of Nursing: $24 million
The UW School of Nursing's reputation attracts the country's top students but competition for the finest students is fierce. Additional scholarships and fellowships will support our bright and passionate students so they don't have to work, allowing them to focus full time on gaining an education, speeding their entry into the workplace. When you invest in a student, you invest in the future. Faculty Support The School of Nursing's extraordinary faculty drive the process of teaching, discovery and research that are at the heart of an exceptional education. Strategic recruitment-and retention-of world-class faculty will allow us to grow our renowned programs and build partnerships that improve care in our community.

Philanthropic support is essential to continuing the research that has already helped so many individuals, and to tap the potential to benefit thousands more. The School of Nursing prides itself on encouraging mentorship among its colleagues and students – thereby preparing critical thinkers for the complexity of real-world health care. Our investment of time and resources into mentorship benefits the school in tangible ways: The mentees receive an enhanced, outside-the-classroom learning experience that better prepares them for success in the working world, and the mentors have a unique opportunity for both professional and personal development on the job. Whether mentoring occurs one-on-one in a professor's office, in a clinical setting, or half a world away through our study abroad program, the positive effect on our students and faculty can last a lifetime:
However, none of this innovative, life-changing education could happen without private support. Your gift helps our faculty succeed in developing stronger mentorship programs for our nursing graduates and teachers. Exceptional care from a UW nursing graduate means healthier individuals, families and communities. Your unrestricted gift to the Nursing Excellence Fund makes this happen.
