AACN Recognizes the Latest Fellows of the Elevating Leaders in Academic Nursing (ELAN) Program
Photo Collage - Elevating Leaders in Academic Nursing, Cohort III
AACN is pleased to announce that a new cohort of nursing faculty leaders from across the nation have completed AACN’s Elevating Leaders in Academic Nursing (ELAN) program, ELAN is part of the association's leadership development portfolio, AACN LEADS, and is specifically designed for aspiring deans and senior faculty in leadership roles.
 
 
Now in its fourth program cycle, ELAN has created a new pathway for over 170 nursing faculty leaders to enhance their leadership skills. Participating faculty received an assessment of their current leadership style and learned valuable skills to accomplish identified goals.
 
Representing a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills, AACN's
ELAN fellows have developed the necessary tools to be leaders in academic nursing.  
 
Exciting News! The application cycle for ELAN's fifth cohort is open.
Faculty interested in participating in ELAN are invited to apply. The program, referred to as "a life changing experience" by a past attendee, provides a focused assessment experience, a range of content and exercises related to successful executive leadership, and the opportunity to establish a peer network that fosters long-term partnerships and collegial support.
