We are looking for visionaries who understand the critical need of the nursing shortage and recognize the important role higher education plays in its solution.

The funding allocated by the State of Florida will pay for less than half of the estimated cost of the new, permanent home for the UCF College of Nursing at UCF’s Academic Health Sciences Campus at Lake Nona. We need your support.

Leave a legacy on nursing’s future and allow us “Charge On!” to fuel the frontline of 21st century healthcare in Central Florida and beyond.


INVEST in a History of Impact

For more than four decades, UCF has been leading the charge in excellence in nursing education, practice and research.

UNLEASH Our Potential

Located on the 50-acre UCF Academic Health Sciences Campus at Lake Nona, the new, permanent home for the UCF College of Nursing will help us unleash our potential and make a greater impact on nursing’s future by:

  • MORE space, nearly doubling the current leased space in Research Park, to educate MORE Knight nurses to address the critical nursing shortage
  • MORE state-of-the-art facilities and labs to foster MORE innovation and invaluable hands-on learning opportunities to enhance nursing education and practice
  • MORE opportunity for collaboration in education, training and research to impact MORE patient lives, with an optimal location in Medical City adjacent to the UCF College of Medicine and Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences

Together, we will fuel the growth of more Knight nurses to care, to lead, to innovate and to educate – ultimately impacting the health of our global community.
