The Association of Marquette University Women will host its annual Advent Reflection Luncheon on Friday, Dec. 4, in the AMU Monaghan Ballrooms. A reception will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by lunch and a program at noon.
Dr. Karen Robinson, who serves as assistant dean for graduate programs and professor in the College of Nursing, will deliver this year’s reflection. Robinson is a maternal-child health scholar whose work focuses on supporting mothers, babies and families during the critical early stages of life. Her research explores ways to enhance breastfeeding support and improve health outcomes for African American mothers and their infants. Through thoughtful, community-centered research, she is helping shape more effective and compassionate approaches to maternal and child healthcare.
Robinson earned her BSN, MSN in nurse-midwifery, and Ph.D. in nursing from Marquette University and has devoted her career to advancing nursing education, midwifery practice and maternal-child health. She is also a breast cancer survivor whose personal journey has strengthened her commitment to advocacy, education and community engagement.
Register for the luncheon here by Friday, Nov. 20. For questions or special requests, contact Emily Rodecap at emily.rodecap@marquette.edu or (414) 288-7755.
