Welcome from the Dean

Dean Julie Zerwic
 

Greetings, Hawkeyes!

At The University of Iowa College of Nursing, we are honored to celebrate this significant milestone with you at the Golden Alumni Reunion for the classes of 1969-1975. Join us for two days of reconnecting and reminiscing about your time at the College of Nursing with fellow alumni and friends.

This is a wonderful opportunity to rekindle old friendships, share your life stories, and take a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Let's make this reunion a memorable event filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a deep sense of pride for all that you’ve accomplished since your time at the college. We look forward to welcoming you back and celebrating our shared legacy.
