Jack H. Overman Student Center
The Jack H. Overman Student Center was chosen as the venue for the upcoming conference due to its versatile facilities, welcoming atmosphere, and strong commitment to fostering a sense of community. This location aligns perfectly with the conference's goals of encouraging academic achievement, celebrating diversity, and promoting collaboration. The Overman Student Center offers a dynamic environment, not only catering to practical needs such as meeting spaces and dining options but also providing an inclusive setting that brings together students, faculty, and guests. Its ability to support both small meetings and large events, along with its recently updated, aesthetically pleasing facilities, makes it an ideal choice for hosting the conference.

Tour - Irene Ransom Bradley School of Nursing Simulation Hospital
Hi-fidelity simulated patients include a pediatric mannequin that can cough, move, and present symptoms; an adult patient that can have conversations; and a birthing simulator complete with mixed reality goggles to see what’s happening inside the patient — including uterine contractions.
Because simulated patients are used, students can make mistakes that won’t harm a patient and can learn from those mistakes.
