“During their time at the Sinclair School of Nursing, students will don black scrubs; an honor that allows them to participate in an immersive learning experience, collaborate with world-renowned faculty and engage in life-saving research. When they turn their tassel at commencement, they will join the ranks of Mizzou Made Nurses across the globe – carrying out our mission to advance health care for all people, the truest honor of all.”
