Who Should Join?
Membership in ACELN is open to all faculty, deans, and staff with an interest in advancing excellence in academic nursing. The network connects change-makers who share the values and goals of Access, Connection, and Engagement (ACE). It is especially relevant to those responsible for creating environments that remove barriers, foster authentic relationships, and shape academic nursing communities where every individual is heard and respected.

- Sharing evidence-based promising practices

The goal of ACELN is to align its efforts with the strategic access, connection, and engagement goals of AACN and the larger nursing community.
