2026 Alumni Spirit Week Events

Clarkson College was founded in 1888 as Nebraska’s first school of nursing. Since then, we've established a new campus, expanded our program offerings, and adopted a new name. Our programs continue to evolve to meet the needs of the healthcare industry. We continue to remain focused on academic excellence and professional preparation.
