Come to the graduate research symposium hosted in Canyon Commons (Room 102-103) on Thursday, Dec. 8, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The DMSc program was created in response to an ever-growing demand for healthcare leaders, particularly in rural, traditionally underserved and international locations. Our DMSc students are excited to present their research to you in a symposium-format doctoral defense.

The focus of our students’ research is rooted in service and leadership, particularly with an emphasis on global health and humanitarian service and leadership. As a part of their coursework, our DMSc students participated in a service trip to Africa and the greater Pacific Northwest.

Come to the symposium on Dec. 8 to hear about the exciting research our DMSc students have been doing. You will not only have the opportunity to hear about their research, but you are also encouraged to ask questions and interact with our students.

A silent auction will be held during the event and will showcase handmade items from master craftsmen and women throughout Africa.
