RMH, Grief Center, and Rosenbaum House Dinners The SNA has partnered with these organizations for years to provide dinner every other month to families. We bring our own food and physically cook on-site. It takes only a couple hours of your time, and you can make a huge difference by just a little action on your part. Donating food items, being there for the dinner prep/serve/cleanup all count for community service hours too

Clothing Sales This is a great fundraiser for SNA, plus you get to buy clothing that doesn’t come from the bookstore! Be sure to let your family know about this, too. Announcements, order forms, and information will be available on the SOLE site. › Order forms will be present at the first meeting and during first week class visits!

Peer Mentor Program Originally developed through a leadership studies class, designed to help students collaborate across classes to navigate nursing school successfully. The first meeting will be announced soon.

NSNA Convention This is an annual meeting in the spring where thousands of students and faculty meet, network, learn, and grow. Each year it is in a different US city › This year it is sunny Orlando, FL! Fundraising is ongoing to support student costs for travel, hotel, and registration. Usually 10-20 students attend each year.
