WELCOME FROM DEAN PERAGALLO MONTANO:

Dear Alumni and friends,

Welcome to the School of Nursing and Health Studies Alumni Weekend & Homecoming Reunion 2012!

Our alumni are a great source of pride and are among the most valuable resources of the School of Nursing and Health Studies. Over 5,500 SONHS graduates provide distinguished leadership and excellence in patient care and research across the state of Florida, the nation and around the globe. Your continued support of our School through student scholarships and enhanced programs enriches the stellar 64-year reputation as one of the top nursing and health studies schools in the country.

I personally extend an invitation to this auspicious occasion where we will be commemorating 64 years of excellence. What an exciting time of year this is for me and for all of us to get together and share in time-honored traditions; a chance to reminisce of days gone by and celebrate our Alma Mater. It is with great anticipation that I remind us of memorable events that will be taking place this weekend such as the Homecoming Breakfast at the historical Biltmore Hotel, the Homecoming Parade, Boat Burning, Fireworks, and our Welcome Back to School Tour and CEU Event! And of course, our Homecoming Football Game!

We measure our worth by you, our alumni. Allow me to tender my gratitude for all your continued efforts in building on the reputation and rich heritage of the School of Nursing and Health Studies as one of the most highly acclaimed and honored programs in the country. I look forward to seeing you there!

GO CANES!

Warm regards,
