These funds support student scholarships, updates and enhancements to facilities and technology, and innovative programming to enhance today’s student experience.

Participation from the Penn Nursing community is vital to provide unrestricted funding from the Annual Giving Fund and has helped to drive the state-of-the-art renovations to the new Claire M. Fagin Hall and recruiting and retention of the leading students and faculty that make Penn Nursing the nation’s number one ranked private School of Nursing. From adding wireless internet capability to the building’s first and second floors, to adding sound insulation to the Carol Elizabeth Ware lobby to cut down on classroom distraction, support for the school’s only unrestricted spending fund allows Penn Nursing to address current and critical needs to remain the profession’s leading institution. 

This past September, Annual Giving support allowed the school to broadly integrate into the curriculum its first Electronic Health Record system. The EHR software provides students with training necessary to understand the same evolving technology of medical record keeping now in place the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and other major medical centers. The opportunity for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students to use this important tool is a direct result of the generosity of alumni and friends who are committed to keeping Penn Nursing on the leading edge of Care to Change the World.
