Elon's first-person consent donors make a profound and intentional choice to invite students to learn. These "silent teachers" have intentionally decided to continue teaching even in death.

Nursing, physician assistant and anatomy faculty members, along with anatomy teaching assistants came together to offer an engaged, interdisciplinary learning opportunity to nursing students utilizing the "silent teachers" in the Anatomical Gift Program.

The first training for the new micro-credential badge will be offered in October.

Nearly three dozen local students participated in the two-week summer program organized by the Physician Assistant Studies program.

Jessica Gisclair, Brian Pennington, Will Pluer and Stacey Thomas have embarked on the program, which helps faculty build expertise in leadership education and integrate it into a coming class.

Elon University fosters connections with the local community through faculty like Elizabeth Bailey, who engages students in community-based learning and leads programs promoting physical and emotional well-being in local youth.

An associate professor of nursing, Van Horn will be inducted on Sept. 20 during the National League of Nursing Education Summit in San Antonio, Texas.
