Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® | International Nursing Service Projects
Chamberlain College of Nursing joins together to support one of the greatest causes of all – the race to cure breast cancer. At Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events, Chamberlain students, faculty, and staff come together to join the fight to end breast cancer and save lives. Because with every step, we are that much closer to curing breast cancer forever.
Chamberlain students have ventured far beyond the classroom and local communities to participate in International Nursing Service Projects in Kenya, Bolivia, and Brazil. This first-hand immersion experience allows students to gain a deeper understanding of cultural and economic differences. The two- to three-week International Nursing Service Projects can be done in place of the school’s required multiculturalism and community health courses.

The SGA provides a forum for students to engage in student development activities and meets regularly to discuss issues and pass legislation to enhance student life on campus.
