Penn Club of San Diego presents an Ivy Plus "Book Talk"  for the debut novel "Memory Weavers" with Penn Nursing Alumnae and Author Muffy Walker MSN MBA 

May 5, 2025
6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
La Jolla Branch Library Community Room

The Penn Club of San Diego is thrilled to host a Book Talk and Q&A with local author and Penn Nursing alumna, Muffy Walker. Join fellow Ivy Alumni for an engaging discussion on the journey of writing a debut novel, navigating the publishing world, and exploring key excerpts from her book. Muffy Walker will share how her extensive experience as a psychiatric nurse inspired her to craft a compelling work of fiction infused with real-world themes. The conversation will delve into mental health issues, genome sequencing, and more. The evening will conclude with an interactive audience discussion panel. More about the novel here.

Please RSVP to pennclubsd@gmail.com

 

About the author Muffy Walker

Muffy Walker was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, PA. In 1983, Walker graduated with a Master's of Science in Psychiatric Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. She worked in the mental health field for over 18 years until she moved to California when she obtained her MBA with a focus in marketing from the University of California-Irvine.

Walker has owned several companies both for and not for profit and is the co- founder of International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF). She has served on the Board for the American Brain Coalition, Advisory Council for Children's Mental Health Network, Editorial Board for bp Magazine, and the Community Engagement Task Force for International Society for Bipolar Disorders and was Co-Chair for the launch of World Bipolar Day.

Walker has dedicated over three decades of her life championing the education of the public about mental illness and has won numerous awards for her advocacy work including the National Council Behavioral Health IMPACT Award, the International Society for Bipolar Disorder’s most highly coveted Mogens Schou Award, Salvation Army Woman of Dedication, YWCA Visionary Award, YWCA Tribute to Women and Industry (TWIN Award), Leonard Simpson Women Who Give Back Award, and the Emily Bagnall Philanthropy Award.

She has written extensively on mental health topics, contributing chapters, guides, and newspaper articles to the field. Now, she is channeling that experience into writing fiction, weaving together her professional expertise and personal passions to create stories that entertain while offering insights into complex, real-world issues. Her debut novel, Memory Weavers, published by Koehler Books launches April 8. Her goal is to educate readers in a way that feels natural, engaging, and thought-provoking.

When not writing, Walker loves exploring exotic destinations, savoring decadent chocolate desserts, and spending time with her dogs. She is also an avid pickleball player and enjoys the strategy and fun of Mah Jong.

Please join the MIT Club of Puget Sound and the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society for a fascinating look into the impacts of climate change on mountain peak elevations and the challenges associated with measuring their elevations.

 

When: May 7, 2025 from 6pm – 8pm, talk begins at 6:30pm (pizza and drinks available at 6pm)

Where: Sinegal 200 - Oberto Commons (2nd floor): Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation, Seattle University, 901 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122

 

Our speaker is Dr. Gilbertson ( MIT SB '08, SM '10, PhD '14) an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seattle University, where he teaches statics and dynamics courses, and an advanced controls class involving robotics.  Dr. Gilbertson will be discussing his efforts to survey the current elevations of the five last remaining “icecap” peaks of the lower 48 states, which are all in WA (Rainier, Liberty Cap, Eldorado, Colfax, East Fury). These peaks are melting lower, and so now only two remain as icecap peaks. This ongoing lowering of these peak elevations has gone unnoticed since no one had been measuring these changes. His findings on the lowering of Mt Rainier  (https://www.countryhighpoints.com/mt-rainier-elevation-survey/ ) were covered in a variety of media outlets in October 2024 (https://www.countryhighpoints.com/media-coverage/)

 

Dr. Gilbertson received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. His masters research focused on developing a safety valve for offshore oil wells in collaboration with Chevron. His doctoral dissertation focused on controlling underwater robots in difficult acoustic communication environments, in collaboration with the Office of Naval Research. Before joining SU Dr. Gilbertson taught at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Russia, and at the Seattle Colleges.

 

Pizza and a variety of drinks will be available. Please RSVP by April 30, so we can buy the right amount of food. 

 

If you are an MIT alumnus, or otherwise have an account in this system, please be sure to log in before registering since this will connect your registration to your account.
