Throughout the spring, sorority sisters from Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority, Inc., Lambda Chapter mentored nursing students from Curtis High School and facilitated a major research initiative around Black Maternal and Infant Health. The Curtis HS nursing students will present their research in a poster board forum. In addition, a panel of guest speakers and community leaders will discuss Black Women and healthcare and advocacy for improved outcomes in their communities.

This is a collaborative instructional effort undertaken by Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority, Inc., Lambda Chapter and the Curtis High School Nursing Department. Generous support was received from the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Richard B. Dickenson Staten Island Chapter and the Staten Island Museum.
