Objective: The study aims to identify the effects of the University Reform during the 1978-1982 management of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto School of Nursing (EERP-USP). Methodology: Study in the field of History, in the area of History of Nursing, taking the Micro-History approach. To reach its objective, the study used Thematic Oral History. Results: The advances identified in management were related to human resources, physical infrastructure, consolidation of postgraduate courses, regulations and training of health professionals. As effects of the University Reform, it was observed the requirement, at the University of São Paulo, of the category of full professor for the exercise of direction, a fact that led to sixteen years of direction by non-nurse professors, adherence to the unification of the vestibular, the consolidation of graduate studies and curricular changes. Final Remarks: The study focused on the work of the two leaders at the time, but it is inferred that other people may have exercised leadership in the realization of the advances recorded in the minutes of the faculty board.
