 A seven-time NCIN grantee, Georgia Regents University (GRU) College of Nursing will continue to apply lessons from the NCIN program well into the future. School leaders in- tend to build on targeted recruitment and marketing, strategic educational partnerships, and NCIN’s Pre-Entry Immersion Program to sustain the momentum. According to the GRU liaison, “These strategies will be hard- wired into the College’s programming for years to come.” Scholars will enjoy career-long benefits from the program, which included panels on student diversity, discussions with doctoral students, and workshops on developing professional portfolios.
