Fellowship for Penn Nursing Practice Professor

Fellows are individuals who have made enduring and substantial contributions to nursing education as teachers, mentors, scholars, public policy advocates, practice partners and administrators. They provide visionary leadership and are recognized for their expertise in nursing education. The induction ceremony will take place during the NLN’s Education Summit 2024 in September in San Antonio, Texas.

“It is an honor to be selected as a Fellow of the Academy of Nursing Education. This recognition reflects my contributions to advancing Nursing’s role through teaching, leadership, creativity, and mentoring exceptional nursing students,” said Becker. “I am very excited to work with esteemed Nurse Leaders and Educators, who will be my colleagues in the Academy of Nursing Education.”

Becker joins the 18th class of Fellows, which has now reached 406 members. They are 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.

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.
