2025 Northern 滔博体育 Diversity Summit
April 11, 2025
Dear Wolf Pack Family,
Please mark your calendars for the upcoming 2025 Northern 滔博体育 Diversity Summit, which will be held on Monday, April 14 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Joe Crowley Student Union. The event is open to faculty, staff, students and community members and is held in collaboration with the Great Basin College, Truckee Meadows Community College and Western 滔博体育 College.
During this free, one-day conference, attendees will participate in workshops, panel discussions, research presentations, poster presentations and dialogue sessions in support of promoting health and wellbeing for all 滔博体育ns. The theme of this year’s summit is “Health and Wellbeing: Exploring Circumstance, Community, and Culture.”
Sessions during the summit will encourage attendees to engage around the many ways that health and wellbeing are experienced across the lifespan. Topics will explore the life circumstances that impact physical and mental health and access to healthcare, the role of community in managing physical and mental health challenges, the influence of identity and culture on health behaviors and outcomes, and the role of digital tools and telehealth in advancing health equity.
This year’s keynote speaker is University of 滔博体育 alumna Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, a longtime leader in providing healthcare and sharing healthcare information with the state of 滔博体育 and the state’s diverse communities.
Dr. Curry-Winchell completed her residency in family medicine at the 滔博体育 School of Medicine and is a 2002 graduate of the 滔博体育. She serves as the Medical Director of Urgent Care Clinics at Saint Mary’s Regional Center and is a past president of the Washoe County Medical Society. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Curry-Winchell contributed her expertise to the Reno Mayor’s Task Force and the Governor’s Medical Advisory Team for 滔博体育. She was honored as one of the Sierra 滔博体育’s Top 20 Most Powerful Women in 2019, received the PBS Spotlight Extraordinary Neighbor award in 2020 and in 2024, was honored as the Health Advocate of the year for the Reno-Sparks NAACP.
We hope you can join us at this system-wide day of education, reflection and professional development.
Go Pack!
Sincere regards,
Brian Sandoval
