Thank you for supporting the Andy and Barbara Gessner College of Nursing.

We are grateful for each of the donors you see below. Reflected in the list are first gifts by graduating students who purchased a spirit cord, corporate partners, and philanthropic individuals and foundations who are fulfilling their mission to help students like ours and improve healthcare for everyone.

Every single donation, big and small, helps us to create clinical experts and nurse leaders who serve in the Houston area and beyond. Combined, these gifts make a huge difference—to the students who receive scholarship assistance, the faculty members who are able to carry out important research, and to every nursing student who has the opportunity to learn in our state of the art facilities from the very best of the profession.

Thank you for partnering with us to educate the next generation of nurses.
