Research
Participants needed for research
Pamela Wadsworth, Assistant Professor of Nursing, is leading a study on the long-term health outcomes of sexual assault survivors—especially those who died prematurely.
If you’ve lost a loved one who survived sexual assault and passed away early, your voice matters. I’m looking to speak with people like you to better understand how care—or lack of it—impacts survivors’ long-term health. Your insights could help improve support for others in the future.
If you would like to be interviewed, please contact Pamela Wadsworth.
In 2024, the Bronson School of Nursing proudly celebrated its 30th anniversary with a special brunch event held in the College of Health and Human Services. The celebration brought together emeriti faculty, alumni, community partners, faculty, staff and students to honor three decades of excellence in nursing education. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and supporters, the event raised an impressive $98,029 to support the purchase of new teaching equipment—enhancing hands-on learning experiences for future nursing professionals.
