Throughout my time in nursing school, I have seen the lack of knowledge many of my classmates have on potential issues, and even less knowledge on how to address those issues.
Our panel will give voice to those who frequently are not heard, and amplify these voices to provide education to future and present healthcare professionals to improve healthcare outcomes for ALL.

Few species are as iconic as Pacific salmon. When considering their importance as a food source, their popularity as a recreational fishery, and they ways our natural systems rely on the immense nutrients deposited by their carcasses after spawning, it’s easy to see why their declines resonate across regions and latitudes. For certain First Nations peoples, including those on whose homelands many of us here in the Palouse reside, these declines are deeply felt.
