The name change, effective in Fall 2025, reflects Augsburg鈥檚 deep, long-standing commitments as well as a core focus of the discipline of nursing for the future.聽
鈥淣urses are on the front lines when it comes to improving health outcomes for diverse and underserved populations,鈥� said Associate Professor Katie Clark MAN 鈥�10, DNP 鈥�14, who chairs Augsburg鈥檚 nursing department. 鈥淥ur alumni are passionate leaders who are equipped to advance health equity and address the social determinants of health at every level鈥攊n the clinic, within complex health care systems, and beyond.鈥澛�
