The University of Louisville School of Nursing is proud to present the 2025 Fall Seminar Series, a forum showcasing leading external researchers whose work is shaping the future of nursing science and healthcare delivery. This series will highlight innovative scholarship across a range of topics relevant to our academic and clinical missions, including health equity, community-based interventions, nursing education, and translational research. By bringing together voices from the local community, the series aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, inspire new collaborations, and enrich the academic environment for faculty, students, and community partners alike.
Whether you're a faculty member or a student, this series offers valuable insights to enhance your work and broaden your horizons. This is a great opportunity to network with outside researchers and gain fresh perspectives on emerging trends and methodologies.
The Seminars will take place one Monday a month at 12 p.m. in Room 2037 of the School of Nursing building.
