Leadership

Leadership is a key focus in the BSN programs at the University of Akron. Student Affairs coordinates two all-college leadership events - one each Fall (open to all College of Nursing students) and one each Spring (by Dean's invitation only).

Living/Learning Communities

The College of Nursing is very pleased to provide several freshmen living/learning community options for students preferring a close-knit, supportive learning experience.  New freshmen interested in learning communities are encouraged to schedule the earliest possible date for New Student Orientation, as availability in nursing learning communities is limited.
