Til Íslands – Opening Reception
About the Exhibition
Til Íslands presents images of dislocation and reconnection with the Icelandic landscape after a century of separation. The exhibition includes 35mm and 16mm film, alternative processed photography, and textiles naturally dyed with Icelandic plants to reflect the colors of the landscape. Created over the course of a summer in 2025, Til Íslands documents the delicate experience of becoming reacquainted with a landscape and people in the midst of dramatic environmental change.

Generations of Impact: Where Nursing Education Meets Real-World Change for Patients, Communities, and Policy
There is a thread that runs through Duke University School of Nursing, one that weaves together education and experience to create a tapestry of care across the lifespan. Our students, staff, faculty, and thousands of alumni have built a culture of care that has impacted countless lives in our own backyard here in Durham, across the nation, and throughout the world.

Insights from Alumna Helen S. Lydon
My mother talked about nursing and healthcare issues as long as I can remember. My aunt was one of the first nurse anesthetists at Duke Hospital, and I loved hearing her experiences and stories as well, not just at Duke but later in her career. I always was interested in the sciences and started leaning toward healthcare (particularly nursing) when in middle school. As a teen I volunteered at a large hospital in Buffalo, NY, during the summers and thought all aspects were fascinating. The patients, the doctors, the routine, and environment.
