Our council of community leaders was established in the 1970's to serve as a liaison between the school and the community for the purpose of promoting mutual understanding and cooperation. The members provide advice and counsel to the Dean and faculty regarding plans and programs of the College of Nursing as we strive to serve the needs of the community and maintain a program of excellence in nursing education.
