The development mission at the College of Nursing is to seek support to allow the college to continue delivering the highest quality educational programs, directly impacting our nursing students.
Whether you’re a graduate of our program, a supporter of nursing education, or someone who has been personally touched by a caring nursing professional, there are a variety of ways which you can make a difference for our students and mission. A select group of existing funds are shown below, with a link to a complete list of giving opportunities. We would also be happy to discuss the creation of a new fund or targeted use for your contribution.
For further information on giving, please contact Lyndy Ackerman, director of development. She can be reached at (614) 292-6077 or ackerman.144@osu.edu. Or, if you'd like to give a gift online, just click here. Thank you for considering a gift to the College of Nursing.

Be a Lighter of the Lamp The flames of our "Lighters of the Lamp" donor board represent the original Florence Nightingale lamp, a long-time symbol of the nursing profession. We will recognize your gift to the college by adding your name to the donor recognition wall in our lobby where hundreds of students, faculty, staff and visitors view it daily.
