Scholarship@Villanova/ Endowed Chair Lecture featuring Helene Moriarty, PhD, RN

Scholarship@Villanova events are dedicated to the recognition of the scholarly efforts of Villanova University faculty.

Please join us on Tuesday, March 24 at 2:30 p.m. in room 204 of Falvey Memorial Library for a Scholarship@Villanova/Endowed Chair lecture featuring Helene Moriarty, PhD, RN, Professor at the College of Nursing. Dr. Moriarty is a nurse advocate for military veterans and their families who has targeted her scholarly work on the health needs of those who have served in the military. Her lecture will focus on her research with interprofessional teams at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center. She will present findings from an intervention study, funded by NIH, that evaluates the impact of an innovative in-home intervention for veterans with traumatic brain injury and their families.

Dr. Moriarty is the inaugural appointee to the College of Nursing’s first endowed faculty chair, the Diane L. and Robert F. Moritz, Jr. Endowed Chair in Nursing Research. This award was established in 2013 by Robert F. Moritz, Jr. DDS ’51 VSB and his wife Diane to advance research and scholarship within the College and its academic programs.

This event, co-sponsored by the College of Nursing, Falvey Memorial Library and the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), is free and open to the public.
