What is the N.C.C.?
The Nursing College Council is a direct route of communication with the faculty and administration of the College of Nursing and the University of Florida Student Government. The purpose of the council is to work cooperatively with College of Nursing faculty and students to promote the school and nursing as a profession.
How is N.C.C. Funded?
The Council coordinates activities and projects that benefit the college, the university, and the students under the advisement of the student leaders and faculty. It is funded by Student Government through the Board of College Councils.
What Projects are Organized by the N.C.C. Members?
Projects and events vary each semester and the council is open to new ideas, but examples include: Junior Orientation, Pre-Nursing Seminar, Homecoming, Annual Commemoration of Graduating Seniors, and many volunteer opportunities.
How Much of My Time Will Be Involved?

You will gain many experiences and opportunities such as:
Leadership skills
Time management skills
Sense of accomplishment & achievement
Opportunities to get to know faculty and administrators

Who is Eligible to Join?
All students who are admitted into the College of Nursing are automatically members, so come to the meetings and participate!

Each November elections are held for the Executive Board (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Activities Coordinator). Plan to run or come on voting day and show your support to someone else.
