History

Ken's mother was a nurse, and he donated $2.5 million as an endowment in her honor.[1] The school was originally part of the College of Health and Human Sciences, but was restructured to its current configuration. The School of Nursing's offices are located in the Urban Life Building, along with the College of Law. On August 1, 2017, the institute was renamed from Byrdine F.
