We write this letter to introduce the San Jose State School of Nursing Student, Faculty and Friends Association. Carolyn Spears and I have worked closely with Dr. Jayne Cohen, Director of the SON, to create a robust program whose primary goal is to reach out to past and present students and faculty, and to members of the school's extended family. In partnership with the school's leadership we hope you will develop a life-long relationship that you find fulfilling.

The roots of the SFFA go back to 1994 when The Nursing Alumni and Friends group was established. The NAF has worked effectively throughout the years due to the dedicated efforts of a core group of members. The NAF will now transition to the SFFA.

The immediate goal of the SFFA is to make contact with all of our past students and faculty no matter where you are today. Our hope is to design events and programs that are interesting to you and allow you to reconnect with your colleagues and to your alma mater. The SFFA will also assist in the planning of the 50th anniversary event, which will likely be held during the 2005-2006 academic year.

The continued success of the SON program is based on our ability to attract the best and brightest students and to create an all-around program that distinguishes our students in the healthcare industry. You, as leaders in the industry, can show us how to continue to achieve this goal by providing your insights and assistance. We encourage you to become involved in the SFFA and the SON in whatever capacity fits your current life.

It is as easy as 1, 2, 3, to get involved…

1.

Indicate to us that you want to get involved either call a SFFA Officer, call the SFFA office, or email the contact information below

       
  2.   Tell us a little about what interests you--helping new students, fund raising, organizing events
       
  3.   We will reach out to you with a proposed plan and with names of other people that have the same
       

We need your help and look forward to reconnecting with all of you.
