From the Alumni Association President

It is an extraordinary time to be a nurse, and never have we valued nurses and the care they give more than we do today.

No matter whether a BSN student, a CNL, an advanced practice nurse or a doctoral graduate earning a DNP or a PhD, each graduate from the great Class of 2020 joins the nation's most trusted profession at a time of unparalleled upheaval and change. Each graduate brings with them the confidence, ability, compassion, and poise to compel the profession forward. Each graduate will find his or her own way in an environment that brings both challenges and opportunities.

UVA nurses:

We thank you for your determination, your relentless accommodation, and your unfailing grace over these last weeks as we adjust to the new realities that COVID-19 brings. We offer our enthusiastic congratulations to you as graduates. And we can't wait to see all the good you'll continue to do as you make your own path in nursing.

WAHOOWA!

We asked each of our graduating students to create a single slide to celebrate their time at UVA. Scroll through the images to see what they created. We think it will make you smile. We know we did.
