FROM OUR CHAIR: Thank you for joining our 24th Annual Scholarship Symposium. This event has long served as the showcase for our graduate students' culminating projects. Since joining the MU Department of Nursing in 2000, I have never missed a symposium, and each year, I am inspired and awed by the amazing work of our students. In recent years, our Symposium has grown through the addition of Doctor of Nursing Practice 3 students and our Harrisburg MSN program expansion. This year, we are thrilled to showcase the work of more than 50 MSN and DNP students. I hope you enjoy the day as much as we have enjoyed working with our students to prepare! Kelly A. Kuhns, PhD, RN, CNE Chair and Professor DNP Program Director Department of Nursing
