“We are so fortunate to be supported by longstanding relationships with families like the 康奈尔大学 family,格雷戈里说. “Their assistance makes our work possible and animates it in ways that we could only have imagined 20 years ago when our school of nursing was named in honor of 威廉F. 康奈尔大学. Mr. 康奈尔大学 was not only a pillar of our 太阳城网赌平台 community, but he was also a grateful patient of BC Nursing. His gratitude 和 ongoing support of his family inspires us to live our mission of ‘Ever to Excel,’ seeking excellence in nursing education and research. BC Nursing—the 康奈尔大学 School of Nursing—is stronger than ever thanks to the 康奈尔大学 family.”
