Today
I had the pleasure of announcing a new partnership with the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Nursing and Memorial Health System to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at UIS starting in fall 2015.
Not
only will this bring one of the top ranked nursing education programs in the
nation to Springfield, but it will help UIS grow and fulfill a need for more
baccalaureate level nurses in Springfield.
This
type of collaboration, that benefits students and our communities, as well as
makes the most efficient use of our resources, is what the University of
Illinois does best.
