RESEARCH
Prior to USF cancelling all study abroad travel, one College of Nursing student was able to travel with an interprofessional group to Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). After USF cancelled all in-person study abroad travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the College of Nursing pivoted focus to virtual experiences for students. Virtual Study Abroad Sites during academic year 2020-21 were planned between the College of Nursing and Colombia at Colombia (Universidad del Norte [UNINORTE]), and the United Kingdom at Exeter University, England, and the University of Stirling, Scotland.
STUDENT AFFAIRS
The College of Nursing aspires that global opportunities for our nursing students and faculty be optimized, streamlined, and provide outstanding opportunities for learning, professional advancement, and research. The College has several active global partners in Central America and the United Kingdom that engage undergraduate students both virtually and in person, when safe to do so. The existing and new collaborations allow faculty to engage in global research opportunities; the College aspires to expand those opportunities as faculty seek global partners whose research areas help establish the College of Nursing as a leader in global nursing research.
