Lessons in Chemistry: Celebrating Women in Science

The Fleet Science Center Gala

Join us on Saturday, April 26, for the 2025 Fleet Science Center Gala, Lessons in Chemistry: Celebrating Women in Science, as we recognize the trailblazing women who are changing the world, one chemical reaction at a time! 

Dr. Julie Cowan Novak. A woman with long, wavy blond hair smiles warmly at the camera. She is wearing a light blue, silky jacket, and a necklace featuring a large black pendant with a green accent. The background includes a hint of musical instruments, suggesting a creative or artistic environment.

This year, we are honoring Dr. Julie Cowan Novak DNSc, RN, MA, CPNP, FAANP, FAAN, Adjunct Professor of Nursing and the first graduate of the Doctor of Nursing Science program from USD's Hahn School of Nursing. As both a philanthropist and a champion for providing community resources, care, and support, Dr. Novak's legacy as a trailblazing woman in science is uniquely San Diegan, and we look forward to sharing her story with you.
