The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing is delighted to announce that University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala will serve as Ethnic Minority Visiting Scholar on September 11, 2012. She will join the Carolina community in exploring “Practicing to the Full Extent of One’s Education: Implications for Providers, Diversity and the People of North Carolina”. A reception will follow her presentation. 

As you likely know, Dr. Shalala was chair of the Institute of Medicine/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Landmark report titled The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. The report can be found at http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2010/The-Future-of-Nursing-Leading-Change-Advancing-Health.aspx/

Please plan to attend with your associates, students and colleagues. This is an excellent opportunity for the public, the nursing community, supporters and legislators to dialogue around this important issue with this world-renowned leader.
