| Welcome to the Saint Francis
College of Nursing Alumni section. We hope this section will help you reconnect and stay connected
with your alma mater, whether it’s finding someone from the past,
beginning a new relationship in the present or finding ways to work
for Saint Francis' future. It acts as the guardian of tradition, keeps
alumni informed about fellow alumni, and promotes the needs of the
facility and its students. We are here to help alumni and friends of
Saint Francis College of Nursing support the institution through charitable gifts.
Whether you are interested in supporting through annual campaigns,
establish a permanent scholarship or endowment, or would like
information on planning charitable gifts through your estate, we are
here to help. |
