In a significant move to enhance its nursing education programs, the University Board of Trustees has officially approved the renaming of the Ira D. Pruitt Division of Nursing to the Ira D. Pruitt College of Nursing. This decision was made during the board's quarterly meeting held in December.

With healthcare needs continually evolving, the establishment of the Ira D. Pruitt College of Nursing is a strategic step towards preparing the next generation of nursing leaders.
