On behalf of the University of Mississippi School of Nursing alumni chapter, I would like to thank each one of you for supporting our school. We have well over 60 years of school heritage and 50 years of alumni chapter heritage, and I look forward to 50 more. I would like to also thank all the nursing alumni board members serving with me. We closed 2011 with great social functions and tailgates. 2012 has been a great year so far, with our annual meeting, class celebrations and Oglevee Papers Day, and much more is to come.
