Nursing Alumni Reunion

In-person class reunions will be held for featured years ending in ‘6 (’56, ’66, ’76, ’86, ’96, ’06, ’16). All alumni are welcome to attend. Join us for this special day to reminisce with your classmates about your time in nursing school. Enjoy a guided, walking tour of the new School of Nursing, including our state-of-the-art Miller Family Simulation Center, as well as University Hospital to see how it has evolved over the years. After lunch, we’ll take a virtual tour of the exciting changes on campus. Don’t miss this chance to reconnect, reflect and explore! If you would like to be a class representative or have questions, please contact Cheryl Byrd at byrdch@missouri.edu.
