Looking Toward Our Extraordinary Future - Happy 2025!

Dear friends,

As 2024 ends, and we look forward to 2025, we remain sure-footed and steadfast in our mission and purpose: to improve lives through nursing. In Our Extraordinary Future, the title of our 10-year strategic plan, each of us has an important part to play.

To our exceptional students, faculty, and staff who make our community what it is, I am profoundly grateful for all we do. The work we do we do together.

With the promise of a new year before us, I wish each of you a year filled with health, progress, knowledge, connection, and belonging. 

And, as we say in Danish, Godt Nytaar! 

Be well,

Marianne Baernholdt, PhD, RN, MPH, FAAN
