College of Nursing Dean Jane M. Kirschling has been elected to serve a one-year term as secretary of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). Her term begins immediately.

"I am very pleased to have the opportunity to return to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Board of Directors as secretary. AACN is uniquely positioned to influence baccalaureate and higher degree nursing education in this country. Consequently, being a member of the board provides the opportunity to influence our future in nursing education."


AACN's educational, research, governmental advocacy, data collection, publications, and other programs work to establish quality standards for bachelor's- and graduate-degree nursing education, assist deans and directors to implement those standards, influence the nursing profession to improve health care, and promote public support of baccalaureate and graduate education, research, and practice in nursing - the nation's largest health care profession.
