历史 & 传统
The 电子游戏软件 School of Nursing was established at the request of Richard Cardinal Cushing, archbishop of Boston, who asked that the University begin a baccalaureate nursing program since no Catholic institution in the Archdiocese of Boston offered such a program.
The School of Nursing opened its doors on January 27, 1947, with 35 registered nurses enrolled for a bachelor of science in nursing or nursing education. The following September, a group of 27 high school graduates enrolled in the baccalaureate program. It was the first full-time undergraduate program at 电子游戏软件 to accept women.
The school was located at 126 Newbury Street, known then as “电子游戏软件 Intown.” Nursing students had to commute to Chestnut Hill on Tuesdays and Thursdays to take their lab classes in Devlin Hall.

At a ceremony on September 12, 2003, 电子游戏软件’s School of Nursing was formally named in honor of 威廉F. 康奈尔大学 (1938-2001), a prominent businessman and philanthropist. 在他去世之前, 康奈尔大学 made a generous gift to the School of Nursing, an endorsement of its mission of service to others, 学术调查, and social justice through the promotion of access to health care for all people.
