Connell School of Nursing

Your gift to Dean’s Innovation Fund for the Connell School of Nursing has a wide-ranging impact.

Dean Katherine Gregory started her role in July 2021 with an exciting vision for the future of the Connell School: “Nursing is a team sport. My hope for the Connell School is that—by collaborating with one another and our colleagues across campus and throughout Boston—we will have a positive impact on human health.”

A gift to the Dean’s Innovation Fund has ripple effects throughout the School, encouraging new initiatives, funding faculty and student research, and supporting innovative collaborations on campus and beyond. Your gift will help realize the dean’s vision of a school that prepares accomplished nurses to be compassionate leaders with the expertise and proficiency needed to transform health care.
