Nursing Connector Program

The MCV Alumni Associationis partnering with the VCU School of Nursing to pair alumni and students

The program encourages alumni from the School of Nursing and the St. Philip School of Nursing to serve in a nurturing role for second-year nursing students. About 35 students and alumni participated in the fall of 2009.

Alumni play a supportive role to students by contacting them at least once every two weeks to offer words of encouragement during stressful times or to provide a friendly voice celebrating accomplishments or everyday successes.

The alumni association and the School of Nursing provide alumni with a list of significant dates in the students’ lives, such as birthdays, first clinical rotations, first days of exams and more.

If you are interested in participating, you can register online or contact Michael Greene-Russell (B.S.’91/B), program manager for the MCV Alumni Association, at (804) 828-4595.
