Showcase highlights important work by
students, hospital nurses
The College’s third annual Student Scholarship
Showcase, held Fri., March 23, was another great scholarly
success for students at all levels, and this year for the first
time, nurses from UK Chandler Hospital.
Each year the showcase presents excellent scholarly projects
completed by students as part of their degree requirements. All
students are invited to submit oral or poster presentations.
This year we invited nurses from the hospital to submit poster
