12–1 PM
CON-PHE, Room 1601
Lunch provided
Research touches nearly every part of the College of Nursing, but staff do not always have an opportunity to hear directly about how that work develops.
Designed specifically for College of Nursing staff, this informal lunchtime seminar will feature two short faculty presentations followed by conversation and questions. Attendees will hear how research ideas become projects, how scholarship connects with patients and communities, and how faculty, staff, and partners contribute to the College’s research mission.
No prior research experience is needed. This session is intended for staff who are curious about the research and scholarship taking place across the College.
