The Faculty of Health and Community Studies is proud to share the astounding achievement of incoming Interim Associate Vice-President, Research and outgoing Associate Dean, Vince Salyers, EdD, for his selection to the 2014 Class of Fellows of the National League for Nursing Academy of Nursing Education. Vince's official induction is set for the 2014 Education Summit from September 17-20 in Phoenix, AZ.

In a competitive application process, the Academy of Nursing Education Review Panel has a great deal to consider before recommending fellowship candidates to the NLN Board of Governors, the oversight body for the academy. Evaluations take into account applicants' contributions to innovative teaching and/or learning strategies; nursing education research; faculty development activities; academic leadership; promotion of public policy that advances nursing education; and/or collaborative educational, practice, or community partnerships.

The NLN established the Academy of Nursing Education in 2007 to foster excellence in nursing education by recognizing and capitalizing on the wisdom of outstanding nurse educators.

Congratulations Vince!
