Historical Note
The University of Wyoming's involvement in nursing education began in 1918, when it partnered with Ivinson Memorial Hospital to provide science courses for the hospital's student nurses, laying the groundwork for formal nursing education in the state. The School of Nursing was officially established in 1951, expanding its programs to address the healthcare needs of Wyoming and surrounding rural areas. In 2003, the school was renamed the "Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing" following a three-million-dollar gift from Roy Whitney to the University, made as a birthday gift to his wife, Fay. The funds from this gift facilitated the renovation of the Old Biochemistry Building into the Health Sciences Center, which now houses nursing and various other programs within the College of Health Sciences. The Division of Kinesiology and Health remains in the expanded and remodeled Corbett Building.
