Keynote Speaker (UC Room 133): Rhoberta Haley, PhD, RN Dean and Professor Pacific Lutheran University School of Nursing

“Nursing Trends: U.S. and Washington State”

“Dr. Haley brings to the role over 30 years of experience in nursing education with a depth and breadth of experiences as a faculty member, scholar, and administrator. Inclusive excellence is an important focus of her professional life, both as an administrator and practitioner, as she has a deep understanding and respect for the social determinants of economic inequality, health disparities, and the ways in which restricted access to educational opportunities affect both. Dr. Haley also brings experience with grant-funded projects
As an administrator, Dr. Haley most recently served as Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Professions at Chaminade University of Honolulu. Previously, Dr. Haley has served as Assistant Dean and Director of Entry Level Master’s Program at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, and as Director of Nursing at Olivet Nazarene University. She has contributed meaningfully to the discipline of nursing education through her service on both the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (where she currently serves on the Board of Directors) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.”
Featuring: DNP Students Scholarly Projects and Posters & BSN and ELMSN Posters
Continuing Education Credit will be offered. Contact Hours: 5.0 for Podium Presentations and 2.0 for Poster Presentations
