Special Events and Receptions

  • 4/6 Nursing Healthcare Innovation "Shark Tank" Event

    UConn senior nursing student innovators will pitch their healthcare innovations to a panel of eight judges from Connecticut and across the country. During their nursing leadership course, seniors hosted interactive discussions, policy debates, and are now ready to go before our judges in hopes to connect entrepreneurs with those that may fund their efforts!

    Following the innovation presentations, from 12:30-2 pm, we will also host our ATHENA Research Series. Come and view poster research presentations from both graduate and undergraduate students in the Widmer Wing Auditorium.
