MEET THE JONAS SCHOLAR ALUMNI ADVISORY COUNCIL
|
The Jonas Scholar Alumni Advisory Council was formed in 2016 and is comprised of ten alumni from around the country who provide strategic direction and make key decisions for the structure of the growing Jonas Alumni Group. The group's mission is to foster strong and long-term connections among the nationwide Jonas Scholar network, and to develop strategies to maintain connections between Scholar Alumni and the Jonas Center.

"We're very pleased to announce the creation of the Jonas Scholar Alumni Council for 2016-2018, charged with leading and organizing communication and events for the more than 600 Jonas Scholar Alumni across the country," said Donald Jonas, who co-founded the Center ten years ago with Barbara Jonas, his wife. "The Alumni Council represents every region of the U.S., as well as PhD and DNP graduates, Nurse Leader and Veterans Healthcare Programs."

|
|
|
|
ALUMNI WORKGROUPS
|
|
To further the professional development, networking, and leadership of Jonas Scholar Alumni, the Advisory Council operates primarily through four workgroups: the Newsletter Workgroup; the Webinar Workgroup; the Regional Meetings Workgroup; and the Communications & Social Media Workgroup.
|
|
Regional Meetings
The Regional Meetings group is working to develop networking opportunities at major nursing conferences. The first successful event was held during the Southern Nursing Research Society’s (SNRS) Annual Conference with a robust turnout. These events give Jonas Alumni and current scholars an opportunity to connect. There will be three additional meetings in April. Details can be found below. Stay tuned via email and social media for an invitation to join us if you will be at the conference, or if you are simply in the area!
|
|
|
Webinars
The Webinar Workgroup is evaluating speakers for its first Alumni Scholar Webinar, tentatively scheduled for Fall 2017. To highlight the role of the Jonas Center as a leader in deliberate building of DNP-PhD teams, the topic of the first Webinar will be “DNP-PhD Collaborations.” As always, Jonas Alumni Scholars will all be invited to learn and to earn no-cost CEUs at these Jonas/AACN-sponsored Webinars.
|
|
|
|
Communications & Social Media
The Communications and Social Media Workgroup has supported exponential growth of social media use by our Alumni over the past year! LinkedIn has emerged as the primary method for social media exchange among Scholars (see Other Information below for information on how to join our LinkedIn community). In addition, consider following us on Facebook to keep up with our many regional and national events!

RECENT EVENTS
|
Jonas Scholars and Alumni were well represented at the Southern Nursing Research Conference (SNRS) in Dallas, Texas on February 22-25th. Jonas Scholars Paula Cairns, Leigh Bray, Brittany Beasley, and Adam Booth as well as Jonas Alum Timiya Nolan all had presentations at the conference. Many of the scholars and Board members were able to attend these presentations and we salute Paula, Leigh, Brittany, Adam, and Timiya for their amazing research and for showcasing their research aimed at transforming healthcare.
Jonas Alumni Advisory Board members Alicia Rossiter, Annemarie Dowling-Castronovo, and Debbie Anglade hosted a reception for all the scholars and alumni not only at the conference but also living in the local area. It was a great opportunity for Board members to engage with the scholars and alumni and to highlight the accomplishments of the Jonas Center and impart what it means to be a Jonas Scholar. It also provided an excellent opportunity for all attendees to network, socialize, and just have fun celebrating each other and the many accomplishments of all the Jonas Scholars. We look forward to meeting other scholars and alumni at the upcoming events!

SPOTLIGHT: DNP-PHD COLLABORATION
|
In this inaugural issue, we are proud to begin our Spotlight series highlighting exemplar models of DNP-PhD collaboration. We believe that the Jonas Center is the leading national network to identify and showcase collaborative education and practice models, including building deliberate DNP-PhD partnerships and creating DNP-PhD teams.
Three faculty from Rush University, Elizabeth Carlson, PhD, RN, DNP, Marcia Murphy, DNP, ANP, FAHA, FPCNA, and Beth A. Staffileno, PhD, FAHA, developed a collaboration model based on the Practitioner-Teacher model, a foundational model at the medical center. In 2014, the faculty led a DNP and PhD nurse practitioner facilitated initiative to enhance the cardiovascular health in two underserved populations. The success of this program led interest in developing further DNP-PhD collaboration with a focus on practice, education, and research among the faculty. Faculty incorporated principles of the Carnegie Initiative on the Doctorate by teaching DNP and PhD students to learn, appreciate, and collaborate interprofessionally. This collaborative venture facilitated a deeper understanding of the roles of DNP and PhD faculty. To emphasize the national dialogue on doctoral collaboration, the
2017 Annual Midwest Nursing Research Society Conference (April 6-9, 2017) will host a panel discussion on collaborative teams which we encourage you to attend if you are interested in learning more.
