Rochester Nursing Magazine

As the School of Nursing celebrates its Centennial year, this issue of Rochester Nursing showcases our rich history in healthcare through timelines, photos and archival materials, and stories from nurses across several class years, who share Rochester's impact on their lives and careers. Additionally, news and features on new programs, initiatives, and members of our community offer a glimpse at our next chapter. Here's a peek at what's in this edition: 

  • Centennial Spotlight series: Meet 11 of our 10,000 alumni in a series of Q&A profiles. From early-career nurses to executives and leading researchers, each alum brings a unique piece of their Rochester experience with them in their careers: it's in the stories they tell their students as educators, the research questions they ask, the ways they lead interdisciplinary teams, and the way they're improving health outcomes for all of us.

  • Origin story and timelines: The School of Nursing formed during a time of healthcare transformation. A new model for academic medical centers was taking shape, integrating research, care, and education — and the University of Rochester acted on that vision. Find out how that spirit of innovation has continued to guide us throughout the decades, and in the present.  

  • Previewing our next 100 years: Features on new initiativescollaborations, and leaders at the helm of our expanded academic programs offer a glimpse at what URochester Nursing's next chapter holds.
