The lecture series is held each Spring and it presents both local and national nursing leaders to stimulate thoughtful discussions about nursing leadership and research. It was launched to honor and recognize Adele Bemis, MSN, RN for her steadfast leadership in the nursing profession, her vision, and her leadership exhibited throughout her nursing career. Registered Nurse Bemis is a 1984 charter member of the local Eta Omicron Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, International, which is the Honor Society of Nursing. The event is sponsored by the Eta Omicron Chapter, with local members in the College of Nursing at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi working to create the event.
