The Advisory Board's purpose is to embrace Marian Shaughnessy's vision to make the School of Nursing the “Leadership Destination." The school's faculty and staff members on the board will focus on developing and implementing leadership education opportunities for faculty, staff, students and alumni.
Leadership is 90% relationships, therefore, the board will assist the Marian K. Shaughnessy Nurse Leadership Academy to build relationships and be cognizant of the school's mission to “create and empower nurse leaders” and determine how this fits with Shaughnessy’s vision.
The advisory board's goals include:
- Developing leadership knowledge and skills of all faculty, staff, students and alumni;
- Infusing leadership into all courses in all academic programs;
- Highlighting the school's leadership legacy and its impact on the profession;
- Bringing forth the school's mission during daily discussions: live and breathe the mission as a FPB leader.

Consistent with its mission, the Marian K. Shaughnessy Nurse Leadership Academy is announcing a small grants program to support the development of leadership projects within the School of Nursing. We are soliciting proposals for leadership projects that demonstrate the impact of nursing leadership within clinical practice, education, or in the community.
Leadership in this context refers to recognizing an opportunity within the school, the university, a healthcare system, or the community, identifying the opportunity with the relevant stakeholders, and proposing and implementing solutions that contribute to positive change. The project should be related to Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing's strategic plan, and the description of the projects' structure should align with the school's leadership. All proposed projects should be of short-term duration, with the potential for completion in 6-12 weeks.
