About ICAN (I Can Achieve a Nursing Degree)

The ICAN program is a pioneering initiative to make an impact on aspiring nursing students from underrepresented communities, providing them with the tools, resources, and support needed to overcome barriers and achieve their academic and professional goals. ICAN nurtures and guides Capital Region high school students to become healthcare professionals through mentorship, scholarly and collegiate experiences, hands-on resumé-building activities, networking, employment opportunities, and more. 

Supporting these students as students, and later, professionals, addresses ongoing worker shortages and overall healthcare disparities through better representation in the healthcare workforce.

What Does Your Sponsorship Do?

ICAN sponsors for the 2024-2025 academic year contribute to the success of individual nursing students while making a positive impact on the overall health, wellness, and vitality of our community by supporting inclusive opportunities to address social determinants of health. Program sponsors support the academic ICAN program, as well as the 2025 ICAN Summit.

Russell Sage College is honored to work with a wide range of sponsors and supporters, and we pride ourselves on our ability to customize sponsorship levels to meet our supporters’ needs. In addition to the tiered levels of sponsorship, we also offer the following options:

  • Themed Sponsors: Themed sponsorships are created to support a specific need or location within the ICAN Summit. Themed options could include attendee swag bag, attendee meals and activities, or other creatively branded opportunities.
  • In-Kind Sponsors: In-kind sponsorships directly offset summit expenses through the donation of professional services or products, such as donated food or beverage for an ICAN student event, donated transportation to site visits, donated services for social events, items for attendee swag bag, and other similar nonmonetary contributions.
  • Custom Sponsors: Custom sponsorships are tailored for organizations that wish to support ICAN, but would like to mix and match benefits or pursue additional options not outlined in the prospectus. The Russell Sage College team can work to create a benefits package that will work for your company or organization.
