Lakeview College of Nursing to Hold Research Day

DANVILLE , IL (04/23/2015)(readMedia)-- Lakeview College of Nursing will hold a research day for its faculty and students on Friday, April 24 from 8 am to 3 pm at the Wyndham Garden Inn located at 1001 W. Kilarney St. in Urbana. The event will highlight nursing as a legacy and will include a guest speaker as well as student presentations.

The guest speaker will be Julia Balzer Riley. Riley is a nurse, international speaker, and artist. She is an advanced practice board certified holistic nurse and a faculty member at the University of Tampa. She is also the author of six books and has been a nurse entrepreneur for over 30 years. She will be speaking on the legacy of nursing for Lakeview's multi-campus event at approximately 9:10 a.m. and on continuing the journey at approximately 1:40 p.m.

Also during the event, the senior-level nursing students will be presenting their required legacy projects. All students from both campuses of Lakeview (Charleston and Danville) will be in attendance and given time to view project boards summarizing the different legacy projects that have been conducted throughout the semester and to discuss these projects with the students who have worked on these projects.

Lakeview's legacy projects require students to work in small groups and make a difference in the community by helping service organizations fulfill specific needs. About 17 different groups of senior-level Lakeview students will be giving formal presentations during this research day event that will demonstrate how they made an impact in the local community.

Students will also vote on which project they found to be the best. A winner from the Charleston Campus and from the Danville Campus will be chosen and announced near the end of the research day event (approx. 2:10 pm).
