The Crawford Lecture at USF on March 29th, 2010!

Once again, USF will host the Crawford Lecture series on March 29, 2010. This year’s theme, “Strategies for Reducing Health Disparities in Research and Practice Among Venerable Populations,” will be presented by Dr. Loretta Sweet Jemmott of the University of Pennsylvania, School of Nursing.


Dr. Lemmott is the van Ameringen Professor in Psychiatric Nursing as well as director of the Center for Health Equity Research. She has spent most of her life researching and testing culturally sensitive programs to reduce HIV risk-associated sexual behaviors among African American, South African, and Latino populations. She has a consistent track record of evidence-based HIV risk-reduction interventions across various populations.


She is renowned in the medical, nursing, and academic communities for her research and dedicated work to reduce health disparities among venerable populations. We are honored to have such a distinguished person on our campus and invite you to register for this event. The Crawford Lecture is an event put on by the School of Nursing, USF Alumni Association, and the Beta Gamma Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International.


The event will be held in Fromm Hall on March 29, 2010. We will have a reception and buffet from 4:30-6:00 pm followed by Dr. Jemmott’s lecture from 6:15-7:30 pm. Please contact Christina Tai at tai@usfca.edu for registration instructions. The cost is $15 per person.
