2023 Benchworks Assessment and Impact Award for Nursing Winner: Bellarmine University

[mattvenaas]

Bellarmine University is one of two winners of the 2023 Benchworks Assessment & Impact Award for Nursing. They were recognized for significant improvement on survey scores related to overall program satisfaction. Faculty in BU's School of Nursing recognized a disconnect after the COVID-19 pandemic and established new initiatives to support students from the moment they step on campus. Their efforts include hosting a welcome back reception so students can meet faculty and peers, adding a Student Support Liaison position to bolster administrative support, and creating opportunities for students to informally connect with their teachers through a “lunch with faculty” program.

Check out the case study linked below to learn more about what their program learned from their survey data and how they used it to make a positive impact on their nursing education program!
