Bronson Alumni Nursing Fund
The Bronson School of Nursing will celebrate its 30th anniversary in fall 2024. Help us celebrate another 30 years this Giving Day by making a gift to support the school's project to buy new manikins, which provide hands-on learning experience for our future nurses. Here at the College of Health and Human Services, we train the healthcare workers of tomorrow, and having access to tools to closely emulate real-world experience has proven critical in our students’ success.
Nursing education has a history spanning over 100 years in Kalamazoo. Our Bronson School of Nursing turns 30 years old this year, and we hope you help us celebrate by making a gift to support the next 30 years!

Department of Physician Assistant Anniversary Scholarship Fund
When Dr. William Birch, obstetrician and gynecologist, founded the physician assistant program at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø in 1972, it was just the second in the state of Michigan and one of the first PA programs in the nation. The memory of Dr. Birch lives on in his family and in his former students, who have joined together to create a scholarship in his memory.
Please join us by making a gift to support scholarships for physician assistant students on Giving Day!

Bradley served as the group's first president in 1969 and has served as president of the state organization as well. Members of Eta Omicron remember Bradley for the love and joy she brought to the group and for her dedication and enthusiasm as she led their chapter in its service to others.

The Specialty Program in Alcohol and Drug Abuse at ÃÛÌÒÉçÇø Michigan University is the first of its kind in Michigan and the first university-based training clinic in Michigan to address substance use disorders. In fall 2023, we celebrated our 50th anniversary.
