It is an exciting time to be a member of the Jean School of Nursing and Health Sciences, as we build on our legacy of fostering intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth in our graduates. In collaboration with community partners, alumni, and students, we are poised for strategic growth that meets the increasing need for healthcare access and excellence while honoring what makes us distinctly “Anselmian” – faith seeking understanding.
Our strong foundation in liberal arts education serves as our anchor – it provides stability, a sense of identity, and a structure that ensures our students are prepared for a lifelong pursuit of truth. Our Catholic Benedictine hallmarks are our North Star - our unwavering set of core values that ensure we remain grounded and human-centered while navigating inevitable change. Our success is built on continuous conversatio – a steady, deliberate commitment to learning, reflection, and improvement.
From our nationally recognized nursing program to our growing health sciences and community and public health majors, our graduates are prepared to serve as leaders and change-agents who make significant contributions to the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities. With compassion and caring at our core, we provide students with a supportive environment that builds a sense of belonging beyond the walls of our new Grappone Hall or state-of-the-art Sheila Evjy Center for Health Sciences Simulation. Our graduates join an active alumni community with a legacy of leading positive change across the public health and healthcare industries.
Responding to the evolving needs of the communities our graduates serve while maintaining the excellence our programs are known for will continue to be our strategic priority. We are excited to meet this goal as we welcome the class of 2030 to the Hilltop!
