As the Assistant Dean of Alumni and Community Relations, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to engage with and get to know you, our alumni and friends across the Tampa Bay community, the state of Florida, and the country. 

Our 16,000+ Bull Nurse alumni continue to inspire me with their passion for the profession, their support of College of Nursing initiatives and students, and their trailblazing contributions and accomplishments. From enrolling our first class in 1973 to those who will graduate this semester, USF College of Nursing alumni exemplify excellence in all they do as nurse leaders, practitioners, researchers, and educators. 

I hope you will take some time to review the College of Nursing Alumni webpage to learn more about your fellow alumni as well as all that is going on with our students, staff, and faculty; our plan for expansion of the college; and the many initiatives within the college and the community. In addition, please follow us on social media to receive up to the minute highlights and activities. 

We would also love to hear from you. Please consider updating your contact information and letting us know about any personal/professional accomplishments in the link provided on the webpage. We are grateful for each you—as a College of Nursing alum you are a lifelong member of our College of Nursing community and are integral to the success of developing the next generation of USF Bull Nurses. 

I look forward to connecting with you and thank you for all you do to ensure the health of patients, families, and communities around the world. 

Go Bull Nurses—trailblaze on!
