The College kicked off the public phase of the campaign May 18 during ceremonies at White Hall, the College's home.
Construction is scheduled to begin next fall.
Dayle Joseph, of East Greenwich, interim dean of the College, unveiled plans for the garden before numerous supporters. The garden will include a bronze sculpture of Florence Nightingale, who is credited with establishing the first nursing school. Our program is demanding and time-consuming. This garden will give our students a place to ponder the important work for which they are preparing. We see this garden as a place for reflection.
