Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing
Support Student Success This Giving Day

Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing alumni, scroll down to see more information on how you can support students – future nurse leaders – this Giving Day through the Give Your Grad Year campaign.

At the UC Irvine Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing, we are at the forefront of a revolution in healthcare—one that is rooted in compassion, innovation and the unwavering commitment to transforming lives. Whether it is through educating aspiring nurse leaders, providing exceptional patient care or advancing scientific research, our work is making a profound impact on the world. Today, we invite you to partner with us in in our mission to create a healthier tomorrow by supporting our students today.

Consider a gift that helps define the future of healthcare by supporting those who will provide it in the decades to come. The healthcare leaders of tomorrow are walking the halls of our school, looking at the trails blazed by our alumni and preparing to make their own mark. They are eager to follow in the footsteps of those who have come before them, but they cannot do it alone.

By making a gift—of any amount—you can have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of our students. On its own, a single gift may seem small. But when combined with others – it becomes something extraordinary: a collective force that propels our students forward. Your support will also show our students that they are part of a larger, caring community that values their success and believes in their potential. We can help them realize their full potential, not only during their academic journey, but in their future careers in healthcare.

Your generosity will contribute to the development of bright medical minds and new ideas for addressing complex healthcare challenges. Your generosity will give them the resources they need to succeed in their studies and beyond. It will ensure that talented students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to dream, thrive and excel.

Together, we can create a legacy that transcends our local community and current generation. Let’s join hands to create a healthier, brilliant future.

Calling all UC Irvine Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing alumni – Give Your Grad Year This Giving Day! 

We know our alumni are transforming healthcare with humanity in mind, and we thank you! Today, we ask our alumni members to come together to support current students to ensure they can do the same in their upcoming careers. This Giving Day, we are counting on you to reconnect with our school and show our students that they are part of a larger community that values their success as future nurse leaders.

With more than 800 alumni members, we have the power to help uplift future leaders coming behind us. You can help achieve this on Giving Day by making a gift that corresponds to your graduation year. For example, if you graduated in 2024, you can make a gift of $20.24, $202.40, or even $2,024.00! Any amount will make an impact.
