BSON celebrates 30 years
In 1994, private foundations and Kalamazoo's two major hospital systems came together to pledge more than $5 million to fund WMU's new bachelor's degree program in nursing. Later that year, Dr. Bernadine M. Lacey was appointed as the founding director of the WMU Bronson School of Nursing.
WMU Bronson School of Nursing alumni, emeriti, faculty, staff, community members, and current students are all welcome to come celebrate the legacy of our graduates, and the future that lies ahead of our great program. RSVP is requested for planning purposes below.
Celebratory Open House: Saturday, October 5, 2024, in the College of Health and Human Services building the Atrium.
Event Schedule:
- 10 to 11 a.m. - Mingling and hors d'oeuvre
- 11 a.m. to noon - Presentation
- Noon to 1 p.m. - Mingling and nursing lab tour
