TTUHSC School of Nursing honors past while looking to the future

The event marked the first in a series planned to honor the school's history and to plan for what comes next in nursing education. School of Nursing Dean Holly Wei credits the program's legacy to bold innovation and tight-knit teamwork among faculty and staff over the decades.

For people in Lubbock, the milestone points to a program that has trained nurses locally for 45 years and shows no sign of slowing down. A yearlong series of events means more chances for graduates, faculty, and the broader health care field to reconnect with a program that has shaped nursing education in the region. Wei said the school built its reputation on the strength of the people who came through it, not just the years on the calendar.
