For more than 120 years, Mizzou nurses have set the standard for academic excellence, groundbreaking research and leadership in health care. We are educating the nurses of tomorrow; nurses who will transform health systems, champion quality and safety for patients and pioneer innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing our communities through research and practice. During Mizzou Giving Day, we invite you to make a philanthropic gift to help us support the legacy of the Mizzou Made Nurse.
There may be a specific fund you have loyally supported; we appreciate your ongoing generosity for that cause. If you need inspiration on areas your gift can impact this year, please consider one of our top initiatives.
The Dean's Fund for Excellence is an unrestricted resource that provides the school with the flexibility to leverage matching gift opportunities crucial for securing competitive external grants aimed at student support. This unallocated fund also empowers the school to improve current learning environments, extend professional development opportunities to faculty and swiftly respond to emergency financial needs of students. By contributing to this fund, you play a pivotal role in ensuring that the Sinclair School of Nursing can continue to provide exceptional education and support to its students, adapt to emerging challenges and maintain its commitment to excellence in nursing education.
As we educate the next generation of nurses, we must proactively work with students to establish pathways to lifelong well-being, safety and career success. Through our newly developed initiative, we will infuse the pipeline of new nurses with better tools and stronger conviction to take on the profession's challenges, while simultaneously providing development opportunities for established nurses to handle their current career stress, improve wellness and influence career satisfaction. Your gift will help ensure nurses are well prepared, resilient and capable of delivering exceptional care throughout their careers.
Recruiting and retaining talented faculty and researchers to support the growing number of students applying for our nursing program requires a proactive and strategic approach. It is crucial to support our faculty and give them the resources they need for compelling research, competency-based teaching, assessment and evaluation. Your philanthropic partnership elevates the resources they need to be successful.
