Earlier this week, six faculty members and 18 graduate nursing students demonstrated the power of advocacy on Capitol Hill.

They focused on promoting nurse-midwives and WHNPs as essential to addressing the ongoing perinatal health care crisis. They met with members of legislative offices to discuss three transformative bills: the Momnibus Act, the MOMS Act, and the I CAN Act.

These efforts highlight the critical role nurse-midwives and nurse practitioners play in driving health care solutions.

: For many undergraduates, summer is filled with travel, time spent at the pool, reconnecting with friends and family, and enjoying down time between academic years. For School of Nursing students on an ROTC scholarship, duty calls.

As recipient of a Navy ROTC scholarship, BSN student Sydney Blackston (N’25) fulfilled her required 2024 summer duty in Okinawa, Japan. For three weeks in May, she shadowed nurses at U.S. Naval Hospital Okinawa on Camp Foster.

Army ROTC cadet Erin Dombroski (N’25) spent part of her summer at Fort Johnson in Vernon Parish, Louisiana.

Make a gift on , 12/3, to support future Hoyas like Sydney and Erin in their service of others.
