Homecoming-Events

A modern gem of educational architectural, ringed by windows and embraced by ancient oak trees, the Ochsner Center provides a learning environment for Charity students that incorporates interaction with other healthcare programs as well as

state-of-the-art technology.

Students and faculty will guide us

through Skills Labs, the Virtual Hospital

and more.

Join us in exploring this brilliant

new chapter in Charity’s history – and

fall in in love with your nursing school

all over again!

at the Charity School of Nursing

Patricia Pankey

Memorial Labyrinth

Join us for the very special, official dedication of our beautiful Patricia Carreras Pankey ’69 Memorial Meditation Labyrinth. Nestled between the tree-lined pond and green lawn of the Student Center, the Labyrinth is a place of respite and relaxation, providing a gracious focal point for Charity students and alumni.

Walk the Charity Pin-inspired octagonal track to find calm and center yourself, ponder ideas, or just enjoy a beautiful day. And adjacent to the walking path is the new site for our Commemorative Brick columns. Reset and reminisce surrounded by nature – and the Spirit of Charity!

Homecoming 2025

One of the most unique and sought-after event venues in New Orleans, the Grand Atrium of the Lakefront Airport is an Art Deco wonderland – murals by Xavier Gonzalez, extraordinary

bas-relief sculptures by

Enrique Alferez and a dazzling

array of decorative work on

floors, walls and ceilings.

Breathtaking, and hauntingly

evocative of the beauty and

majesty of Big Charity in its

prime. Your soul will sing!

weekend - he gets it! Charity nurses are truly gems from the Big C and shine brilliantly every where they go!!” - Cleo Garcia '75
