Our Scholars & Benefactors Luncheon is a special opportunity to bring together the students whose futures are being shaped by scholarship support and the generous benefactors who help make those opportunities possible 💙

This year, we were honored to hear from DNP-FNP student and LIFT Fellow Malinda Daniels and DNP alumna Dr. Tammy Mahaney, who shared their stories and reflected on the meaningful impact of scholarships.

Thank you to our scholars, benefactors and College of Nursing community for making this celebration so special!

Growth happens when students step outside their comfort zones.

While traveling in Eswatini alongside faculty mentors, MUSC College of Nursing students witnessed the resilience of communities, the challenges of limited resources and the profound impact of compassionate care.

These experiences help prepare future nurses to serve patients with skill, empathy and purpose.

At the MUSC College of Nursing, some of the most powerful lessons happen beyond the classroom.

For a recent group of students, a study-abroad experience in Eswatini deepened their understanding of compassion, humility and what it truly means to care for others.

Support from people like you creates opportunities that shape the next generation of nurses. Will you help make more experiences like this possible?

🎓 Alumni Spotlight: Chelsea McConnell, DNP, APRN

We’re proud to celebrate College of Nursing alumna Chelsea McConnell, DNP, APRN, on the publication of her research in JAMA Network Open! 🩺📚

Chelsea served as first author on the study, “Nursing Activities and Role Variation in Veterans Health Administration Primary Care,” which examines the diverse roles and activities of nurses within VA primary care.

Even more inspiring, Chelsea began this work while completing her DNP at MUSC and participating in the VA Quality Scholars Fellowship. Her journey from student researcher to first author in a leading medical journal is a wonderful example of how nursing education, research and practice can come together to create meaningful impact.
