School of <strong>Nursing</strong> to Make History Through Campaign Priorities<br />
Nearly two years into<br />
the Making History<br />
Campaign, <strong>GW</strong> has<br />
made tremendous<br />
progress toward its $1<br />
billion goal through<br />
gifts supporting<br />
scholarships, faculty<br />
and programs. This<br />
momentum enables<br />
the university and<br />
its schools and units<br />
to further focus<br />
fundraising efforts on<br />
supporting students<br />
and faculty.<br />
At the School of<br />
<strong>Nursing</strong>, the important<br />
goals of providing<br />
scholarships and<br />
services to students<br />
and advancing faculty<br />
research are reflected<br />
in two key projects<br />
now underway.<br />
Supporting<br />
Veterans<br />
<strong>GW</strong> boasts a strong portfolio of<br />
veterans programs and services.<br />
Among them is SON’s new<br />
Veterans Bachelor of Science in<br />
<strong>Nursing</strong>, an accelerated program<br />
that enables military personnel<br />
and veterans with medical<br />
experience to apply their skills<br />
to new careers. Gifts provide<br />
scholarships, offset living and<br />
childcare expenses, and support<br />
the attendant services our<br />
veterans need to transition to<br />
civilian life.<br />
Building<br />
Research<br />
Strong nursing schools with<br />
powerful research operations<br />
can more effectively meet the<br />
health care needs of communities<br />
around the world. Dean Jeffries<br />
aims to bolster faculty research<br />
at SON by raising funds for<br />
more endowed professorships<br />
and creating a much-needed<br />
doctoral program. Gifts will<br />
support research that improves<br />
nursing practice nationwide and<br />
enhances the learning experience<br />
for students.<br />
Join In<br />
Making History<br />
Gifts to the School of <strong>Nursing</strong><br />
elevate the school’s reputation<br />
as a leader in the field and<br />
improve the lives of hundreds<br />
of thousands of patients. To<br />
