Outreach

NDSU School of Nursing outreach is dedicated to strengthening the health and well-being of our communities and provide meaningful learning experiences for nursing students. Through partnerships with local schools, healthcare organizations, community agencies, and underserved populations, we promote health education, disease prevention, wellness initiatives, and access to care.

These experiences allow nursing faculty and students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings, develop leadership and cultural competence, and foster a lifelong commitment to service. Together, we are making a positive impact—one community, one family, and one individual at a time.
