Distinguished Nursing Alumni
The School of Nursing has provided nursing education since 1937 and is continuing its tradition of being a critical link to healthier communities and a source of pride for Pittsburgh and beyond. We have prepared leaders, locally and globally, to positively impact health and advocate for the oppressed and vulnerable. We are indeed fortunate to have accomplished clinicians, executives, faculty, and deans among our alumni who are leaders in the nursing discipline. Please join me in congratulating these distinguished alumni.
