With Rogers's leadership, NYU became one of the first universities to treat nursing as a science with a distinct body of knowledge developed through research.

The Muriel and Virginia Pless Center for Nursing Research, the Martha Rogers Center for the Study of Nursing Science, and the John A. Hartford Foundation Institute for Geriatric Nursing were established. [8]

In April 2016, the school announced it would be renamed the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing after a $30 million contribution from Rose Marie "Rory" Meyers and her husband Howard Meyers. [10] The donation was the largest gift to an established school of nursing in the history of nursing education. [11]
