We Dare

We Dare

Daring comes in many forms. It's taking risks, challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. It's calm in the face of adversity, perseverance through failure and selflessness in the pursuit of excellence. For each person and in each moment, daring may look different. At the University of Michigan School of Nursing, we dare every day, using our knowledge, skills, innovation and compassion to advance the public good and prepare the next generation of nurses to change the world.
