The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, College of Nursing has been granted full accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) for a 10-year term, extending through December 31, 2025.
“At the College of Nursing, we are committed to improving health through nurse-led care, innovation, and a student-centered approach to education,” said Victoria Niederhauser, dean of the college. “This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing excellence in nursing education and practice.”
Achieving CCNE accreditation is a significant milestone that demonstrates the college’s commitment to academic quality, innovation, and continuous improvement.
The rigorous accreditation process began with the submission of a comprehensive self-study report in December 2024. The 96-page report, collaboratively authored by the CON Accreditation Team comprised of faculty and staff, provided detailed evidence, of compliance with CCNE standards. This was followed by an on-site evaluation conducted by the CCNE review team from February 4-6, 2025.
CCNE accreditation ensures that the college’s programs meet nationally recognized standards for excellence in nursing education. This distinction shows that graduates are well-prepared to enter the profession as leaders, clinicians, scholars, and advocates who advance health and transform care across Tennessee and beyond.
Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, CCNE is an accrediting body that promotes the improvement of public health through quality nursing education.
“Earning this accreditation is a reflection of our faculty’s dedication, our students’ excellence, and our collective drive to advance the nursing profession,” said Niederhauser. “We remain focused on shaping innovative, compassionate nurses who will lead the future of health care.”
The college continues to experience remarkable growth and receive national recognition. Ranked among the top 20 public universities for undergraduate nursing programs and top 25 for doctoral programs, the college currently enrolls more than 1,300 students with plans to reach 1,500 by next year. This upward momentum is supported by the construction of a state-of-the-art new nursing building, which has expanded classroom, simulation, and research space to better prepare future nurses and meet the increasing demand for highly skilled health care professionals.
The College of Nursing is a nationally recognized leader in the education of highly skilled and visionary nurses. Among them are two alumnae who were honored by the university for their service and achievements. The recognitions are part of UT’s Alumni Awards Program, which honors outstanding alumni across the state, nation, and world that bring recognition and honor to the flagship campus.
Rita Silen: Alumni Service Award
Rita Silen exemplifies a life of service and the Volunteer spirit. A proud member of the College of Nursing’s first graduating class in 1974, Silen holds a commitment to her profession and alma mater that spans decades.

She helped bring hope and healing to underserved communities in some of the world’s most remote areas.
Following her retirement from nursing, Silen embraced a second calling as a photographer, documenting the world through thoughtful candid portraiture and visual storytelling. Her lens captures the essence of people and places, often reflecting the same empathy and attention to humanity that defined her nursing career.
Silen has been a member of the Executive Board of the university’s Alliance of Women Philanthropists for the past 15 years and currently serves as chair. The board’s mission is to educate, empower, and inspire women to be philanthropic leaders at UT.

College of Nursing Announces Endowed Dean’s Chair from Greg and Lisa Reed
The College of Nursing has received a transformational gift from Lisa Edwards Reed (’86) and Greg Reed (’85, ’88), establishing the Lisa and Greg Reed Endowed Dean’s Chair.This investment ensures strong leadership for the college as it continues to expand programs, increase student enrollment, and prepare the next generation of nurses to meet the growing health care demands.
Victoria Niederhauser, current dean of the college, will be the first to hold the Lisa and Greg Reed Endowed Dean’s Chair. Niederhauser will retire at the end of the academic year.
“Lisa really exhibits the heart of a Vol nurse,” said Niederhauser. “She has been extremely dedicated to the university as a whole and the college. She’s had a long, distinguished career as a nurse leader, and is now dedicated to supporting the success of the next generation of nurses. The creation of this endowed chair shows her and Greg’s commitment to sustaining excellence in nursing education for generations to come.”
The Reeds are longtime supporters of the university and the College of Nursing. Lisa, an alumnus of the college, built a 32-year career in health care, beginning as a nurse at UT Medical Center before finding her passion in home health care. She served as vice president of the home health division for National Healthcare Corporation for over 25 years, and later as president and COO of a health care start-up before retiring in 2020. Greg, also a graduate of UT with a BA in Economics and History and a JD from the college of law, has established a successful 30-year solo practice after beginning his career with a larger firm and as Assistant District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District of Tennessee.
The Reeds’ philanthropy has supported multiple areas of campus, including the Greg and Lisa Edwards Reed Endowed Nursing Scholarship and a state-of-the-art simulated home health care apartment inside the UT Medical Nursing Building, which opened in August. The space provides nursing students with hands-on training for in-home care scenarios.
Lisa’s dedication to her alma mater has also extended to board service and mentorship. She has served on the College of Nursing Advisory Board for 12 years and is the current chair, and a has served on the UTK Alumni Board of Directors since 2019, serving as President 2024-2025. In 2019, she received the Sylvia E. Hart Distinguished Alumni Award, the highest honor the college of nursing gives to graduates. She mentors multiple first-generation students each year through the UT Promise program.
Lisa attributes much of her and Greg’s professional success to the education they received at UT.
“This university provided the foundation for success we have achieved,” she said. “The College of Nursing’s curriculum, its faculty, and the support in general were so important to me. What we’re doing in the College of Nursing is not just clinical education. It is confidence building and leadership training as well as helping students understand the importance of taking care of themselves as well as others.”
Niederhauser says the endowed dean’s chair will strengthen the college’s ability to attract and retain top academic leaders who can continue driving growth and innovation.
“We are so indebted to alumni who share their time, talents, and energy with us,” Niederhauser said. “The Reeds’ extraordinary gift not only secures the future of the College of Nursing but also ensures that our students receive the very best preparation to enter and lead in today’s complex health care environment.”

“This support represents an investment not just in our students but in the health and well-being of people across Tennessee and the nation,” said Victoria Niederhauser, dean of the college. “By combining world-class facilities with expanded scholarships and partnerships, we are ensuring that more students have the opportunity to pursue their calling in nursing while addressing critical workforce needs.”
Providing Cutting-edge Resources and Technology
The new building is a key component of UT’s commitment to providing a top-tier educational experience for its growing student population. It provides state-of-the-art design that will prepare future generations of nurses for clinical practice and leadership roles. At 117,000 square feet, the building nearly triples the size of the former space.

Supporting Future Generations of Nurse Leaders
In addition to expanding its long-standing partnership with the college, UT Medical’s support will fund scholarships for nursing students and strengthen collaborative initiatives between the college and the medical center. These initiatives are designed to attract top students, remove financial barriers and foster collaborative learning that can directly impact patient care in communities nationwide.
“As the region’s academic health system, we are committed to patient-centered care, advancing medical education and research, and improving the overall health of our communities,” said Dr. Keith Gray, president and chief executive officer of UT Medical. “Nursing is central to this mission, and our expanded partnership with the College of Nursing invests in the next generation of caregivers while ensuring the strength and sustainability of our care delivery model for years to come.”

The second program, the BSN Scholars program, launched in 2023. This program is providing financial support to more than 140 traditional BSN students this fall.
“Our partnership with the College of Nursing has helped more baccalaureate-prepared nurses enter the workforce, and that number will continue to grow over the years,” said Dr. Sandy Leake, senior vice president and chief nursing officer of UT Medical. “UT Medical is proud to support Vol nursing students as they pursue their education, refine their skills and prepare to lead the future of the nursing profession. Education is the foundation for developing tomorrow’s leaders, and we are honored to walk alongside these students through programs such as the Accelerated BSN and BSN Scholars programs, and the RN-to-BSN Scholars program this investment will create.”
Expanding Enrollment and Strengthening the Nursing Workforce
The partnership with UT Medical has given the college an opportunity for even more growth. Enrollment has skyrocketed, with 24.5% growth over the past five years. That growth has reinforced the need for additional space and scholarship support.
“We are deeply grateful to UT Medical for their generosity and continued partnership,” said Brian Broyles, UT’s senior vice chancellor for advancement. “This investment will not only transform the College of Nursing but also open doors for countless students through scholarships — ensuring that talented students can pursue their calling. The impact will be felt for generations as our graduates enter the workforce prepared to provide exceptional care, strengthen our health systems and improve lives across Tennessee and beyond.”
The college is consistently ranked among the top nursing programs in the nation and is Tennessee’s leading producer of baccalaureate-prepared and graduate level nurses.
