WVU's School of Nursing is celebrating 50 years in the classroom and the community this weekend. On Friday, the school awarded scholarships and other honors to students and alumni.

Ninety students were inducted into a national honor society.

The past two deans joined the current one in recognizing the achievements of the school, which has sent more than 5,000 nurses into the field.

"We think that we've made an impact on the state and the country and the nation. Our graduates are in all 55 counties in West Virginia, they're in 50 states in the military and we think it's important to celebrate what's been accomplished," said Georgia Narsavage, dean of the School of Nursing.

Festivities wrap up Saturday with a brunch and tours of the Health Sciences campus.
