HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - On April 24, the Council of Graduate Schools will host a forum on "Graduate Education and the Public Good." The event, to be held at the Library of Congress, will feature panel presentations with United States congressmen and senators, employers, Ph.D. and master's degree holders. The objective of the forum is to emphasize the importance of graduate education and how it prepares people to be leaders and experts in a variety of fields and situations.
Five hundred graduate schools were contacted to nominate outstanding graduates as potential speakers. Out of the 130 nominations, nine were invited to participate in the forum. Northern Kentucky University nursing graduate Judi Frerick was one of those nine.
"I am so deeply honored to be given the opportunity to address members of Congress and share how my affiliation with NKU has changed my life," Frerick said. "And because of the grant opportunities my faculty position provides, NKU allows me to positively impact the lives of children and advance the application of nursing research in Northern Kentucky. I can't imagine that I could possibly have a more rewarding career than the one I have here at NKU."
