NLN Inducts 2024 Class of Fellows into the Academy of Nursing Education

NLN Inducts 2024 Class of Fellows into the Academy of Nursing Education

Induction Ceremony Planned for Honors Convocation during the NLN Education Summit in San Antonio, Texas

Washington, DC — Twenty-seven distinguished nurse educators have been selected as the 18th class of fellows for induction into the prestigious National League for Nursing Academy of Nursing Education. With the addition of this newest class, the academy membership has now reached 406 members.

These fellows join a fellowship of leaders in nursing education who teach in a range of programs across the spectrum of higher education. They are affiliated with top-ranked teaching hospitals, academic institutions, and other organizations committed to advancing the quality of health care in the US and globally.

Following tradition, the induction ceremony will take place at the Honors Convocation, prior to the closing Gala at the 2024 NLN Education Summit on Friday, September 20. This year's gathering in San Antonio, Texas, will include a festive celebration of the Academy fellows, along with other recipients of honors, scholarship awards, and research grants. 

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 consider applicants’ contributions to innovative teaching and/or learning strategies; nursing education research; faculty development activities; academic leadership; promotion of public policy initiatives that advance nursing education; and/or collaborative educational, practice, or community partnerships.

NLN Chair Patricia Sharpnack, DNP, RN, CNE, NEA-BC, ANEF, FAAN, Dean and Strawbridge Professor at the Breen School of Nursing and Health Professions at Ursuline College in Ohio, congratulated the 2024 fellows on behalf of the NLN Board, saying, “Academy fellowship is a singular achievement, and we applaud your extraordinary leadership, fortitude, creativity, and compassion in inspiring and motivating your students. Thanks to your example as nursing professionals and teaching excellence, generations of nursing students have learned to do their very best in preparing to deliver outstanding care to a diverse patient population as they transition to practice in a dynamic health care environment.”

NLN President and CEO Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN, said, “Fellows proudly serve as mentors and resources for new educators and those in clinical practice who aspire to someday join the ranks of nurse faculty. We are delighted to honor the wisdom, experience and enthusiasm of the Class of 2024 and all the Academy fellows who came before them.”
