The National League for Nursing’s Foundation for Nursing Education recently selected Linda Comer, assistant professor of nursing at Western Carolina University, as a protégé for its Johnson & Johnson Faculty Leadership and Mentoring Program.
“Participation in this program is such an honor, and will assist me to acquire important skills in leading faculty teams and continue to develop in my academic faculty role,” said Comer, a resident of Waynesville.
Comer was one of five applicants selected from more than 60 applications to this year’s program, to be paired with an NLN Academy of Nursing Education fellow recognized by NLN as a leader in nursing education. Criteria for selection included evidence of teaching effectiveness, indication of leadership potential in nursing education and evidence of strong communication skills.
Over a 12-month period, Comer and her mentor will work together on individual leadership development as a group project they will present at the 2010 NLN Education Summit in Las Vegas.
