Our People
Faculty
College of Nursing faculty have been pioneers in distance delivery and now with federal grant support, are engaged in testing learning strategies and new delivery technologies. Many are engaged in faculty practice in the College of Nursing's two nurse managed centers and in other clinical settings. Faculty have been building programs of research in several areas of emphasis:
- Patient, family, and community engagement in chronic care management
- Health promotion and illness prevention
- Technology mediated rural health care
- Symptom management
Students have the opportunity to work cooperatively with the research teams.
There are more than 135 College of Nursing faculty who work with 1,100 students. The College of Nursing through the great generosity of alumni and friends is fortunate to have six fully endowed faculty positions which provide exceptional opportunities for faculty and students to work with very talented and distinguished faculty.
