Naming Ceremony for Teresa B. Caine School of Nursing

Celebration Details

High Point University held a dedication and naming ceremony on Sept. 25 for the Teresa B. Caine School of Nursing. It marks the first academic school at HPU to be named after a prominent female leader.

The Caines have been longtime supporters of HPU. They were honored in September 2021 at the dedication ceremony for the Donald R. and Teresa B. Caine Conservatory. The 15,000-square-foot conservatory features a classroom, a working greenhouse, the Butterfly Café eatery and a planting display space. It serves as an area for students to conduct botanical research and propagate plants for the Mariana H. Qubein Arboretum and Gardens.

Teresa also gave a multimillion-dollar gift to create a preservation endowment that ensures HPU has the resources to maintain, sustain and improve the conservatory in perpetuity.

HPU’s 50,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art nursing complex in Parkway Commons was filled with students in purple scrubs, nursing faculty and special guests who attended to honor Teresa Caine, a member of HPU’s Board of Trustees. The school graduated its first class of Bachelor of Science in Nursing students in May and now has 119 pre-nursing and nursing students.
