Annual Research Symposium

The Annual Research Symposium is a public forum for Villanova Nursing faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduate students, as well as nurses from the community, to share research, disseminate study findings and network with colleagues.

The event brings together a diverse group of nursing and health care professionals with the goal of improving patients' lives and health care delivery. Nurses and nursing students are encouraged to submit abstracts and participate in the Symposium through their attendance, presentations or posters. The Research Symposium is co-sponsored by the Office of Nursing Research, Health Care Professional Development Program and the Alpha Nu Chapter of Sigma, Nursing's international honor society.

For more information about the Research Symposium contact the Fitzpatrick College of Nursing at nursing.research@villanova.edu.

This event is free and open to the community.
