Three exceptional Jonas Scholars from the College of Nursing, all current PhD students, attended the 2025 Student Policy Summit, hosted by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in Washington, D.C. Another PhD student, the AACN 2025 Future Nurse Leader Scholarship recipient, joined them along with the college dean. Notably, the University of Arizona is the only institution in the nation with three Jonas Scholars in the 2024–26 cohort.

Jessica Rainbow, PhD, RN, an associate professor at the University of Arizona College of Nursing, was inducted into the Western Academy of Nurses during the Western Institute of Nursing Conference earlier this month.

The College of Nursing was named the 2024 Partner of the Year by the Southern Arizona chapter of the American Red Cross for its ongoing collaboration and community service efforts. Faculty and students from the college have worked closely with the Red Cross over the past three years, integrating volunteerism and fieldwork into undergraduate and graduate programs. This partnership has strengthened the Red Cross workforce while offering students valuable hands-on experience serving diverse communities.
