An exhibition celebrating Yale School of Nursing Centennial (1923-2023)

This exhibit has now closed, but you can read about it here.

YSN’s core mission is “better health for all people.” As we celebrate YSN’s 100th anniversary, we take this opportunity to explore and reflect on the school’s first century. Highlights of this exhibition include the assessment that helped found YSN as a completely new model of nursing education; the immense growth and change across the student population and faculty; the innovative methods of pedagogy and research inside and outside the classroom; a long tradition of community and global service; and a glimpse of the school today.
