Our first Nursing Back to School Night this week was a huge success! The evening was filled with nursing spirit as more than 200 students in our most popular major turned out to reconnect with friends and faculty. Students participated in pharmacology Jeopardy, case studies, sterile dressing changes, and other hands-on activities—all taught by our own FNP students. What a great way to get the Fall Semester off to a positive start! ❤️🖤

Thanks to our Office of Student Engagement for an eventful Welcome Week 2026. Chargers were welcomed to campus with free ice cream🍨, a free bbq, lots of activities, and giveaways.

Some Dominican University biology students participated in intensive research projects this summer, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Glenn W. Bailey Foundation. The research projects will contribute to the fields of molecular biology and biochemistry, and have implications for the scientific study of immunology and genetics. The funding supported four students this summer, and an additional 11 students who worked on the initial stages of the research. Biology professors Dr. Elena Guevara and Dr. Richard Flamio head up the STEM Scholars Program, which makes the students competitive for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals and may assist them in admission to graduate school.
