Prof. Frank Hicks was among 40 academic nursing leaders to be chosen to participate in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and Wharton Business School’s Executive Academic Leadership program.

This competitive fellowship provides participants with the ability to manage and lead change at an enterprise level, strategically negotiate and influence systems, and skillfully strategize and innovate value with internal and external stakeholders.

Following an intensive 5-day on-campus experience, fellows are provided with mentors for the next year to assist them in operationalizing the concepts and principles learned in the program. Prof. Hicks will use what he has learned in advancing the Nursing Department’s educational mission.
