Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership

Established in 1997, the Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership is the nation’s first university-based center dedicated to improving health care worldwide through the development and promotion of nurses as leaders. The Center is committed to helping nurses become strong leaders and partners in tackling today’s pressing health care issues. 

Toward that mission, the Center serves as a catalyst for generating new ideas; convenes leaders from nursing, other disciplines and organizations to collaborate strategically; and is charged with advancing the science and scholarship of nursing leadership. The Center is named after Katharine J. Densford, an internationally known leader and Director of the School of Nursing from 1930 to 1959.

Initiatives include lectures, in-depth research projects, recognition programs, and conferences.  About the Center provides more background about the Densford Center mission, philosophy and leadership team.
