The National League for Nursing (NLN), the nation’s premier organization for nursing faculty and leaders in nursing education, has named Francis Marion University (FMU) one of its 15 new Centers of Excellence for the 2016 year.
Centers of Excellence are chosen based on an institution’s core values including integrity, diversity, excellence, and faculty who share their experience and wisdom in nursing education. Programs that receive the Center of Excellence designation meet high standards and are individually recognized for the unique contributions they bring to the field of nursing.
Francis Marion’s Department of Nursing was recognized for “Promoting the Pedagogical Expertise of Faculty.” They were one of only seven schools nationwide recognized in the area, including Duke, Indiana, Connecticut, University of Louisiana-Lafayette, UNC-Greensboro, and LSU Health Sciences Center-New Orleans.
With a long-standing commitment to providing students with the best instruction and faculty, FMU’s Dean of the School of Health Science, Ruth Wittman-Price, says the recognition is an appropriate benchmark for the Department of Nursing. FMU is now one of only 56 institutions in the nation that have been designated a Center of Excellence by the NLN, and one of only two nursing schools in South Carolina that have been recognized.
