Purpose: To provide nursing faculty with top notch continuing education and resources around leadership, scholarship, teaching, and building community relationships, so they can deliver high-quality learning experiences to nursing students.

Program Scope: The Invest in Nursing Faculty Fellowship is a one-year program consisting of two on-site visits, two and a half days each in length, as well as on-line workshops, leadership resources, and an Innovative Project. There will be a combination of group instruction, experiential workshops, networking, and mentorship opportunities aimed at providing the learning experiences necessary to excel as leaders; both in the classroom and in promoting and fostering clinical partnerships. Sessions will focus on professional leadership, scholarship, teaching, and building community relationships.
Program Schedule: The 2020-2021 applicants must be able to attend both on-site sessions to participate in the program. The dates are August 10 – 12, 2020 and May 17- 19, 2021.
