Rooted in Caring, Rising in Excellence: Our Promise

Dear Faculty, Staff, Students, and Community Partners,

The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing is pleased to announce the launch of Rooted in Caring, Rising in Excellence: Our Promise—a shared direction for the college and a reflection of who we are, what we value, and where we are going together.

Built around five commitments—Empower, Become, Discover, Transform, and Lead Through Caring—Our Promise will guide our work through 2031 as we advance nursing education, research, practice, and service. I invite you to explore our shared commitments and consider the role each of us can play in bringing this promise to life.

We are also excited to unveil the new look of our newsletter. Inspired by Our Promise, this refreshed format aims to showcase how our dedicated nursing community continues to grow and inspire our Florida Atlantic community and beyond.

Go Owls!
