ATTEND THE MATERNAL MORTALITY CONFERENCE
On September 19, 2024, FNU and the Campion Fund are hosting the Reducing Maternal Mortality: Strategies That Work! conference to address the maternal mortality crisis. We know that there are programs in place that are contributing to the reduction of maternal mortality. This conference will focus on identifying and describing those programs and practices that have made significant contributions to reducing maternal mortality rates.
Join this evidence-based conference either in person at Frontier Nursing University’s campus or virtually on Zoom. Only 100 spots are available for the in-person conference.
SUPPORT DIVERSITY, EQUITY, and INCLUSION
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office is designed to assist in promoting an inclusive learning and workforce environment at FNU, with a goal to increase diversity in the nursing and midwifery professions by recruiting and retaining underrepresented students and employees. The Diversity Impact Conference is open to all students wanting to enhance and highlight cultural awareness trends within the field of healthcare.

SUPPORT THE DR. LISA CHAPPELL CAMPUS MEMORIAL
On November 21, 2023, FNU lost Dr. Lisa Chappell, an amazing champion of students and a dear friend to all who knew her. She joined Frontier Nursing University in 2009 and served as Associate Professor and as Chair for the Department of Family Nursing. Dr. Chappell’s expertise as an educator was surpassed only by her kind and caring nature.
While Dr. Chappell’s memory will live on in our hearts and minds forever, we also want to honor her legacy and her innumerable contributions to Frontier with a memorial on campus. The memorial will include the planting of an Appalachian Red tree and installing a memorial bench symbolically close to the heart of campus in front of the Welcome Center. Click here to give online and select Lisa Chappell Memorial in the Gift Designation drop-down menu.
APPLY TO BE A COURIER
The Courier Program began in 1928 to recruit young people to work in the Kentucky Mountains and learn about service to humanity. Couriers escorted guests safely through remote terrain, delivered medical supplies to remote outpost clinics, and helped nurse-midwives during home visits and births. Since that time, FNU has benefited greatly from more than 1,600 couriers. Today, the Courier Program is an eight-week, rural and public health, service-learning program with a rich and adventuresome history that targets college students with interest in public health, health care or a related field.
