Tiffany Morris, associate professor of nursing and chair of the Department of Nursing, has completed the 2020-21 cycle of the Invest in Nursing Faculty Fellowship program based out of the UNC Chapel Hill School of Nursing.
Fellows spent the past year further developing their career in four core competencies: Leadership, Scholarship, Building Community Relationships, and High-Impact Teaching & Learning.
Faculty Fellows receive individual and group faculty instruction while completing an Innovative Project. Program participants attended three Fellowship conferences (two virtual and one in-person) throughout the year to develop in the four above mentioned competencies, as well as monthly distance learning webinars.
Morris completed an innovative project titled “Creating a Resource Center for Health Information in the Faith Community” to increase awareness and decrease health disparities in Rockingham County with a focus on COVID-19.
The fellowship is designed for early to mid-career nursing faculty. Fellows gain an opportunity to network with other nursing faculty and receive consultation from expert health professions faculty. They will have access to state-of-the-art materials on professional development, building scholarship, developing cutting edge curricula, and building successful relationships with peers and the community.
