The American Association of Nursing's Leadership for Academic Nursing Program selected Brenda Hage, Ph.D., D.N.P., C.R.N.P., assistant dean of the College of Health Sciences and Education and chief nurse administrator at Misericordia University, as a fellow.
The program selects fellows through a competitive application process. The professional development experience prepares a more diverse pool of leaders for nursing programs. It encompasses an assessment and evaluation of leadership skills, opportunities for strategic networking and case-study development, consultation to achieve long-term goals, and identification of key partnerships.
At Misericordia University, Dr. Hage also has served as chairperson of the graduate nursing and health care informatics programs, as well as the director of the Master of Science degree in nursing's family nurse practitioner and doctor of nursing practice programs.
In addition to her responsibilities at Misericordia University, Dr. Hage is vice chair for the Pennsylvania Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment Task Force and was appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state Senate as a member of the Pennsylvania Council on Aging. In 2015-16, she was a fellow in the Duke-Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program. Dr. Hage also has volunteered abroad in Haiti, Guyana and Nicaragua.
