Join us as we celebrate a simple but powerful truth: When we invest in nursing education at Rush, we illuminate the path to healthier communities for generations to come.
This event will highlight Rush University College of Nursing’s lasting impact in preparing generations of nursing leaders, from students whose educational journeys are made possible by philanthropy to distinguished alumni whose careers exemplify excellence, innovation and service. Together, we will celebrate the people and partnerships that make that impact possible.
The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and hors d'oeuvres, followed by the program at 6:15 p.m. Smart casual attire is requested.
