Now in its third year, Cincinnati Children’s and the UC College of Medicine’s Envisioning Our Future For Children speaker series has featured a number of remarkable and distinguished global thought-leaders, clinicians and researchers who are truly making a difference for current and future generations. The series continues Oct. 8, 2024, with another esteemed speaker: Velma McBride Murry, PhD, a psychologist, researcher and leader renowned for her research on African American families and the impact of social factors on child development.
McBride Murry is Vanderbilt University’s Lois Audrey Betts Chair, co-director of the Program for Health Equity Research, and University Distinguished Professor of both the departments of Health Policy (Vanderbilt School of Medicine) and Human & Organizational Development (Peabody College).
