Investing in Montana Tech Nursing's Growth Through the Nursing Departmental Fund


The Sherry Lesar School of Nursing at Montana Tech  has shown continued growth, and acceptance to the program is extremely competitive. We are happy to share that we have been able to expand our enrollment from 20 students per semester to 30, this incremental increase resulted in 50% more students in the clinical component of the program. 

The new Lesar Family Nursing Simulation Center which came online a year ago provides opportunities for a significant increase in the number of nursing students at Montana Tech and is better preparing them to care for our communities in the future.  

 

 

We know we need to be as nimble as possible in order to grow our program, adapt to new opportunities, and to serve our students which is why it is so important to grow and maintain our Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund so that we have funds that are immediately accessible. Growing the Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund allows flexibility as well as funds to purchase unexpected but needed equipment for both students and faculty, and to provide emergency scholarship support for students. It provides an opportunity to invest in continued education for faculty including giving more of our faculty the opportunity to become SIM certified. We care deeply for the success of our students and for the growth of Montana Tech Nursing, a gift to the Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund is an investment in that success. 

The Sherry Lesar School of Nursing at Montana Tech has become a leader in education in the state, an independent study ranked the program as the #1 Registered Nursing Program in Montana, and we aim to keep it that way. 

During DayOne, thanks to a generous match from PJack '73 and Leah McCarthy all gifts made to the Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund will be matched 1:1 up to $10,000. 

Please consider investing in Montana Tech Nursing students making a gift today to the Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund.
