A Rich Legacy
The HUP Nurses Alumni Association embodies
the legacy of excellence of nursing education at Penn.
In 1886, the newly established School of Nursing at the Hospital of the University of
Pennsylvania (HUP) put the University at the forefront of nursing leadership where it remains today.
Since 1887, Mary J. Burns, the
first graduate, has been followed by many distinguished alumni including
Theresa I. Lynch, a 1920 graduate, who founded and served as the first dean of the
current School of Nursing.
In 92 years, the school educated 5,000 nurses. HUP alumni
continue this rich tradition as educators, clinicians and administrators who
elevate the quality of care for each and every patient.
