Drs. Diane Fuller Switzer, Kumhee Ro and Mo-Kyung Sin along with former faculty members, Drs. Sofia Aragon, '97, and Carrie Miller were inducted as Fellows of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN) Saturday, October 7, 2023. These colleagues and other inductees were recognized for their substantial, sustained, and outstanding impact on health and health care.

According to the American Academy of Nursing, approximately 2,900 Fellows are nursing leaders in education, management, practice and research. Fellows represent association executives; university presidents, chancellors and deans; elected officials; state and federal political appointees; hospital chief executives and vice presidents for nursing; nurse consultants; and researchers and entrepreneurs.

Invitation to Fellowship is more than recognition of one's accomplishments within the nursing profession. Academy Fellows also have a responsibility to contribute their time and energies to the Academy, and to engage with other health leaders outside the Academy in transforming America's health system.
