  • Spring Educational Opportunity

    By: Megan Timm Megan Timm , 3 days ago

    We are lucky to host our first educational opportunity for our Kappa Mu members this year! Our topic is "Fostering Kindness, Empathy, and Inclusivity for Neurodivergence" Our speaker is Dr. Voshage.  

    Dr. Brit Voshage has lived in the Winona community for over 27 years.  Her work experience is in health and human services, and nursing.  She previously worked for an agency providing services to adults and children with developmental disabilities for just over 10 years before beginning her nursing career. She has worked as a nurse in emergency rooms in both Wisconsin and Iowa. Dr. Voshage has a master's degree in nursing education and a Doctorate degree in Practice and Leadership Innovation. Currently, Dr. Voshage works as a professor at Winona State in the Department of Undergraduate Nursing and has been there since 2018. She has three children with her husband Josh: Bricelyn (14), Lily (12), and (Max) 10. 

    Her passion for advocacy and work to improve understanding of the experiences of neurodivergent individuals in education and the world is rooted from a childhood of seeing her neurodivergent brother struggle with ADHD in a one size fits all educational system.  This passion has grown after having all 3 of her children experience diagnoses of neurodivergent conditions.  

    Please join us at 6pm on April 6th for this wonderful presentation!
