INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF NURSING

FOR ALL WHO CREATE A HEALTHIER WORLD

As populations grow and lifespans continue to increase, the world is at its greatest need for exceptional nurses. Our future depends on professional health care providers who—more than anything else—are passionate about improving the wellness of their patients and improving quality of life for us all.

At Indiana University School of Nursing, we envision global

communities where clinical nurses, educators, innovators, and

scientists lead the way to provide the highest level of care and to

promote human health. We are working today, and every day, to

realize that vision.

But it will take your help. Through For All: The Indiana University Bicentennial Campaign, we’re seeking to generate the critical

private support necessary to increase student scholarships

and mentorships, honors programs, and career services. With

your support we can expand international service-learning

opportunities, grow endowed faculty positions, increase funding

for research, and sustain community engagement.

Together, we’ll fulfill the promise of creating healthier communities, better care, and a more vibrant future for all.

Building on a legacy of more than a century of

progressive health care, we continue to attract bright,

passionate nursing students and help them develop

into leading scientists, educators, and clinical providers.

They’re students such as Michaela Roland, BSN’15,

whose life was forever changed when her mother

became paralyzed and her father needed to stay

home to provide full-time care. Inspired by this,

Roland pursued an education at IU School of Nursing,

where she gained the experience and skills necessary

to realize her dreams—thanks in large part to

scholarship funds.

GOAL #1: INCREASE STUDENT SUPPORT

To truly thrive, our communities need compassionate and selfless health care professionals with the invaluable abilities to learn and grow and quickly adapt to complex changes.

Your support in the form of scholarships makes an

immediate impact on our students’ success, but also

ensures that caring, competent nurses will always

be there to help people heal and to improve the health

of Indiana, our nation, and our world.

EDUCATING NURSING LEADERS

Countless nurses like Roland will go on to tackle

critical health issues and shape tomorrow’s health

care landscape. And for many, entry into our programs

depends on financial aid. Scholarship support is one of

the most powerful tools we have to help students gain

access to a world-class education, regardless of their

personal circumstances.

Together, we can offer not only scholarships, but also

honors programs, mentorships, and career services that

will help future nurses find their ideal place in the world.

Together, we can empower deserving students to begin

their careers.

“Paying for college was difficult after my mom was injured because she lost her job and needed my dad to be her full-time caregiver. Scholarships made my education possible.”

— Michaela Roland, BSN’15 Recipient of the Dean of Faculties Scholarship, the Mary and Gene Tempel RISE Scholarship, and the Pamela Willhite Scholarship.

IT STARTS WITH YOU

Undergraduate scholarships enable some of the best and brightest

students to attend IU and start their careers with

less debt, helping meet the nation’s growing need for

health care providers.

Graduate fellowships and assistantships

attract top scholars and researchers to IU, where they generate fresh ideas, assist faculty in teaching

and research, and become advanced practice nurses

caring for families in every corner of Indiana

and beyond.

service-learning opportunities available. This is critical

in helping our scholars gain the perspectives and skills

to think and act across cultures. However, steep costs

and restricted funding force many of our aspiring

nurses to forgo traveling abroad.

With your help, we can eliminate the financial barriers

for our students, and ensure that all School of

Nursing scholars who seek to share their gifts with

the world can do so. Together, we’ll help them gain

the intercultural perspectives and skills they need to

create a healthier future for all.

GOAL #2: CREATE GLOBAL LEADERS

Whether it’s preventing chronic suffering, helping mothers-to-be have healthy pregnancies, or improving access to better health care, patients’ needs transcend national boundaries.

GOAL #3: SUSTAIN FACULTY EXCELLENCE

Our faculty deliver the full spectrum of health care education. In addition to mentoring students and developing innovative teaching strategies, they oversee clinical practice and conduct critical research that directly benefit patients and their families. When they’re given these resources, they can transform the future of nursing and health care worldwide.

Today, our faculty are creating a more dynamic workforce

through education, awareness, mentoring, and service

learning. Their research is improving health care practices

with initiatives as diverse as better lung cancer screening,

improved community-based health education, and new

applications for music therapy. Our professors’ findings are

shared in scholarly publications and used to inform legislation,

which benefits patients and helps to build national and

international recognition for the school and, most importantly,

improves patient care.

One such nurse-professor-scientist is Joan Haase, PhD, RN,

FAAN, who holds the Emily Holmquist Endowed Professorship

and who created the internationally implemented Resilience

in Illness Model (RIM), which helps patients and families to

better cope with cancer diagnoses. RIM has been adapted as

the guiding framework for research conducted through the

Children’s Oncology Group Nursing—which provides care to

all children with cancer in North America, Australia, and

New Zealand—and is currently being used in two clinical

studies funded by multimillion-dollar grants from the National

Cancer Institute.

Sharron Crowder, PhD, clinical assistant professor, is using

creative strategies to dramatically increase nurse involvement in

health policy and advocacy on a national level. She is renowned

for her use of innovative strategies in the classroom and creating

critical experiential-learning opportunities in the community.

The work of Haase and Crowder exemplifies how supported

faculty can better focus on research, mentoring, and

involving students in a rich environment of discovery—and

demonstrates the high standard of excellence we’ve created

and are dedicated to maintaining. But attracting and retaining

the field’s preeminent minds is a challenging task, especially in

a highly competitive market. Endowed faculty positions are our

best opportunity to meet that challenge head on.

IT STARTS WITH YOU

Endowed faculty positions and support for research are critical

tools for building a superior faculty, and help

to foster a community of instruction and

innovation.

Ours is one of the nation’s largest and

most respected schools of nursing and health

care research. With your support, we will

expand our research agenda, build upon our

faculty’s excellence, and continue to empower

nurse leaders.

Community outreach clinics enable our

students to apply and refine their skills in real-world settings,

equipping tomorrow’s clinical nurses with the

practical experiences they need to provide

excellent care.

GOAL #4: SUSTAIN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The IU School of Nursing has a distinguished tradition of civic engagement, providing direct, hands-on experience for our students as they improve the welfare of countless individuals, families, and communities. But to build even stronger communities, we must find innovative ways to foster health partnerships that extend care to every citizen.

Our programs are rooted in real-world experiences and address

the most pressing health issues of our time. Community

engagement and partnerships provide our students with

opportunities to enhance their skills while caring for the most

vulnerable families of our region.

For example, our Student Outreach Clinic provides free care

and professional services in Indianapolis, addressing many

needs in the surrounding neighborhoods. Here, the next

generation of nurses—in collaboration with the Schools of

Dentistry, Medicine, Social Work, Health and Rehabilitation

Sciences, Law, and Public Health—apply what they’ve learned in

the classroom to treat those who would otherwise have limited

access to care.

“We bring our trust relationship to the clinic, while the students bring their skill and energy. Together, there is help for many.” — Jim Strietelmeier

Pastor, Neighborhood Fellowship Church, Indianapolis, IN

We are making tremendous strides, but we can do even more.

This invaluable clinical outreach requires a significant investment.

And as needs continue to grow, so too must our funding. With

your investment, even more students can experience firsthand-

learning opportunities and even more community members can

benefit from vital treatment.

FOR ALL WHO

COMMUNITIESCREATE HEALTHIER

Worldwide, nurses are at the forefront of health and wellness.

Their work across the continuum of care—from prevention

and symptom management to palliative and end-of-life care—

improves the quality of care that patients receive. It is nurses’

empathy, advocacy, and trustworthiness, though, that cements

lasting relationships with patients and their families.

We have the ability to provide better care for every citizen.

We can empower nurse leaders who will make critical

decisions and save lives. We can help the next generation

advance health care and human welfare around the globe.

But to do this, we need you.

We invite you to join IU School of Nursing as we encourage

student success, lead global health initiatives, sustain faculty

excellence, and fuel innovative programming for the betterment

of Indiana and beyond. With your help, our graduates will

continue an outstanding legacy that will result in flourishing

families, thriving populations, and a stronger society.

Together, we can fulfill the promise of a healthier Indiana and a better world for all.
