Something that distinguishes the people of the College of Nursing and Health Professions is that we are all people of purpose.

We are full of drive and ambition. We have a passion for our work and each day, we bring a sense of excitement and possibility and energy that is infectious. It lifts all of us, pushing us to make a difference in the lives of the people and community around us.

Purpose is important. Not only for the College, but more universally—as all of us strive to make meaning and create good lives in confusing and chaotic times.

CHNP faculty, student, alumni, staff and community partners have all chosen lives that are and will continue to be motivated by an innate desire to heal, a responsibility to serve and an obligation to advocate for those whose voices are not heard.

We wanted to find a way to lift up that sense of purpose, that sense of service and caring, and make it more visible. The result is this Nurturing Purpose exhibit and a College-wide commitment to promote the stories of our people and their unique work.
