Two Faculty, Three Alumni Named American Academy of Nursing Fellows
Dr. Alison Colbert, associate professor and associate dean for academic affairs, and Dr. Becky Kronk, associate professor and chair of the undergraduate nursing programs, have been selected by the American Academy of Nursing as members of its 2018 class of academy fellows.
The following School of Nursing alumni also have been selected as academy fellows:
- Dr. Diane Hupp, vice chair of Duquesne’s board of directors and a member of the School of Nursing Advisory Board
- Dr. Hiba Wehbe-Alamah, professor of nursing at the University of Michigan-Flint
- Dr. Emerson Ea, clinical associate professor and assistant dean for clinical and adjunct faculty affairs at New York University’s Rory Meyers College of Nursing.
Criteria include significant contributions to nursing and health care, and sponsorship by two current academy fellows. Less than 1 percent of nurses are selected as fellows, which is the American Academy of Nursing’s highest honor. Fellows are nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy and research.
The new fellows will be inducted during the academy’s 2018 Transforming Health, Driving Policy Conference, which will be held from Nov. 1-3 in Washington, D.C.
