Board of Advisors

The Board, an advisory body for the Dean, is a group of professionals and experts who provide volunteer leadership and support to the areas they serve. Advisors are ambassadors and spokespeople for our School, linking the campus to the world.

“Penn Nursing’s mission is to harness global and transformative forces for good—and I am proud that as we make progress, we continue to see more opportunity.”
