Dear UCLA Nursing Community, 

Welcome to the start of the fall quarter of 2024! I hope each of you found time to relax and recharge over the summer months and are looking forward to the new quarter. 

To our incoming class of students, new faculty and staff, as well as all those new to our school – I warmly welcome each of you to UCLA Nursing! We’re thrilled you have chosen to be part of our community. To those returning – welcome back! I look forward to celebrating your accomplishments and watching all you achieve in the coming months. 

This year will be filled with meaningful opportunities, fresh perspectives, and inspiring challenges. Our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement will drive us forward, shaping the future of nursing that we aspire to create together.

Let's embrace 2024/2025 with enthusiasm, curiosity, and dedication to our goals. We are here to support and uplift one another and foster an environment where each of us can contribute and thrive. Together, we can make this year a memorable and transformative experience for all. Please take a moment to review our Welcome Week Events below and consider attending when able.
