What is the time commitment?
You determine your level of involvement and participation. Each year, UPSNA plans many social, academic, and volunteer activities. Although attendance at events is not required for general association members, we encourage you to become involved!
General association meetings are held once a month and provide all members an opportunity to stay informed on current events within UPSNA and the School of Nursing & Health Innovations. For information regarding the date, time and location of meetings, please send an email to upsna@up.edu, review the monthly UPSNA newsletters, and follow UPSNA on Facebook and/or Instagram.
All nursing students are already members of UPSNA. It is FREE to join and come to events and meetings.
UPSNA Grants
UPSNA offers grants of $50-200 to fund student-initiated projects that seek to further the mission of UPSNA. Grants may be used to subsidize philanthropic/advocacy work or professional development endeavors.
