Student research inspires symposium on gender and sexual minority health
Research from graduate students in the College of Nursing was the inspiration for the theme of this year’s Helen Glass Research Symposium.
The symposium, which is held annually in honour of Dr. Helen Glass, former director of the UM School of Nursing and a dedicated pioneer of the nursing profession, was held April 22 – 24 on Fort Garry Campus.
Symposium chair Dr. Marnie Kramer, an assistant professor in the College of Nursing, said the planning committee was guided by four master’s students – Jess Crawford, Ashley Bell, Adam Brandt and Jennie MacMillan Gomez – who were engaged in nursing research focused on gender and sexual minority health.
