Nursing Ph.D. graduates hold first reunion

A three-day reunion event for graduates of the Ph.D. in nursing science program at the UW School of Nursing will begin at the Soule Lecture and reception on Thursday, June 15. On Friday, “Think Tank” sessions will cover some of the topics discussed in the Soule Lecture, as well as others.

Among the presenters for the Friday sessions are Dr. Kathryn Barnard, professor of family and child nursing; Dr. Linda Lewis, professor of biobehavioral nursing and health systems; Dr. Jeanne Benoliel, professor emeritus, and Dr. Rheba de Tornyay, dean emeritus. A Friday evening dinner cruise and Saturday brunch will provide more opportunities for graduates and faculty to get together.
