The College of Nursing Alumni Association (CONAA) ‐ promotes the college’s best interests and welfare, works to fully acquaint the membership with the progress and needs of the college, and encourages loyalty and closer bonds of fellowship among its alumni. All College of Nursing graduates are automatic members of the college’s alumni association.

All profits from membership events hosted by the alumni association are used to support various programs and projects that are hosted throughout the year such as:

• Annual awards for outstanding alumni, graduating seniors and graduate students. The Nightingale Award is given to an outstanding undergraduate, the President's Award goes to a graduate of the master's program, the Sebastian/Stanhope Award is presented to a DNP graduate, and the Carolyn Williams Award goes to a graduate of the PhD Program.
• Homecoming/reunion activities
• Graduation gifts
• Networking opportunities for alumni, and
• Mentoring programs that allow students to meet 1:1 or in small groups with alumni to learn more about their careers or projects they are participating in as nurses. These talks are always interesting and help the students explore career choices.

More information is found in the Alumni section of our website. See the pull-down menu at the top of this page.
