Sharon Holmberg, associate professor of nursing, is teaching undergraduate and graduate nursing research courses this fall. She holds a doctorate in nursing from the University of Rochester, a master's degree from New York University and a bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska.
Holmberg began her teaching career at Yale University in a joint clinical/teaching role after returning from a two-year international scholarship at Stockholm's University, Sweden, with a major in social welfare. She has taught at the University of Rochester, Indiana University and the State University of New York College at New Paltz.
Her research interests focus on adaptation, coping and interventions with clients and families who are coping with geriatric medical/psychiatric illnesses and persistent psychiatric illnesses. Holmberg is a native Nebraskan who spent summers in the hay fields of the family ranch and now loves most outdoor activities, including cross-country skiing, rowing, kayaking, and hiking.
