Description/Overview: This Symposium will review our history of development thru today's successes. It is important to know where we came from so we can build on the success of our predecessors. It is also important to share that success with our peers so they may fast forward to success as well. Our program is a sharing from all of the Nursing programs with STTI Chapters in Southern California and beyond. We capitalize on bringing in the best keynote speakers and welcoming active student involvement. We will present four major components, connecting with chapters, presenters, students and tie it all together sharing the development of subcommittee growth and development. All chapters are charged with disseminating research. We hold an opportunity for our faculty, professionals and students to share the valuable work they are doing in academia and service. Join us and create your successful consortium in the next biennium.
