Congratulations! Any alumni out there? University celebrates 50 years of nursing - Springfield, IL - The State Journal-Register

Illinois Wesleyan University is spending the day celebrating the field of nursing.

For 50 years the college in Bloomington has offered a four-year bachelor of science degree in nursing.

To commemorate the event, the college is hosting several lectures looking at the history and future of the field.

That includes a Saturday afternoon talk by alumna Karen Zander called “Contemporary Challenges and Issues in Nursing and Health Care.”

The private liberal arts school also has an exhibit on the history of nursing at the school.
