The Nursing Alumni Council is a way for DUSON graduates to serve the School of Nursing and the alumni community. The council is responsible for the operations of the School of Nursing Alumni Association and recruits members from each of the school’s programs for terms of three years.
Through its volunteer structure, the Nursing Alumni Association’s mission is to build the institution through leadership, philanthropic support, and service to the school.
