NRP Bylaws Q&A

It is with profound sadness that we learned today of the passing of Professor Bruce McEwen, a leading neuroendocrinologist of our time.  In addition to his pioneering contributions to our understanding of the influence of stress on cognition, mood and health, Professor McEwen was an honorary member of Nu Rho Psi and was the keynote speaker at the 2017 Nu Rho Psi Annual Member Meeting and Social.  Rockefeller University has posted more information regarding his extensive scientific contributions and personal accomplishments here.

Creighton is our 94th Chapter and the second chapter in Nebraska.
