Panacea Winter 2020
The winter 2020 issue of Panacea is all about how "We Dare," exploring the theme of the U-M School of Nursing's new branding campaign. In our conversation with Dean Hurn, you'll learn more about what "We Dare" means for our community and find out how you can get involved. In our cover story, we shine the spotlight on Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, a 2008 BSN graduate whose passion for public policy helped her win an upset election in Illinois' 14th District and become a rising star in the Democratic Party. We also check in with some special students, share the accomplishments of faculty and alumni, and highlight a new innovation program that's coaching nurses to realize the true potential of their ideas.
