NightinGala

The NightinGala serves as a time to reflect, renew, and reconnect with the College of Nursing as we celebrate our current standing in our mission to educate the next generation of nurse leaders and health care professionals. We will also celebrate by presenting the Volunteer Nursing Champion Award and the Dr. Sylvia E. Hart Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award to a graduate of the College of Nursing who exemplifies excellence through outstanding achievement, creativity, and service to their profession.

This fun-filled evening will consist of dinner and both silent and live auctions. Immediately following the program there will be entertainment from The Coveralls on the terrace. All proceeds will support the efforts of the College of Nursing to develop and educate the next generation of nurse leaders by providing nursing students state-of-the art technology, classroom space, and equipment to receive the highest quality educational experiences.

More information will be provided on this page and via email as this event is scheduled.
