Alumni and Friends


Charity graduates know that there are no friends like the friends you make in nursing school.  So the Alumni Association is committed to keeping those friendships alive, as well as supporting current students of Charity School of Nursing.

Established in 1916, the Charity Hospital School of Nursing Alumni Association provides an invaluable link between Charity’s rich past and exciting future.  The Alumni Association hosts an annual Alumni Breakfast and Alumni Luncheon to renew old friendships and introduce new graduates to our organization.  Every five years, the Homecoming Celebration brings many generations back to their Alma Mater to celebrate old memories and to see how times have changed at their School.

Alumni Association accomplishments include:

  • Distributing hundreds of dollars in annual scholarships to current CSN students
  • Honoring Deans of the School on a marble plaque secured from the old dorm
  • Serving a continental breakfast to incoming freshmen at the start of each semester
  • Hosting a lunch to graduating seniors at the close of each semester
  • Honoring military nurses by donating an ambulance to the National World War II Museum
  • Creating souvenir banks from the historic old dormitory postal boxes

The CHSN Alumni Association annually publishes The White Cap and the Alumni News newsletter, keeping in touch with thousands of graduates living around the world.
