College of Nursing and Health Fall Lecture
November 16, 2021 ✦ 7 pm ✦ Ignatius Chapel ✦ Zoom
The College of Nursing and Health has a new tagline—Health in Mind, Body, and Spirit—and we welcome New York Times food correspondent Brett Anderson as our fall lecturer to help us reflect on the implications of our tagline.
