Who we are
The University of Rochester is defined by a deep commitment to Meliora – ever better. Embedded in that ideal are the values we share: Equity, Leadership, Integrity, Openness, Respect, and Accountability. The School of Nursing is guided by this commitment and the Unification model.
Our centennial year is a reminder that Rochester nursing started as an agent of change—and that spirit of innovation is still with us. The next 100 years will ask our nurses to do what they've always done here—adapt, innovate, and advocate for patients—but in new settings and with new tools. That's the future of nursing we're preparing for.
