An honors program: directing our future leaders.

Abstract

Development of future leaders is a priority of nurse educators. In this article an honors program, which was initiated to prepare students who would contribute to nursing science and become effective leaders, is described. The process used to gain faculty and administrative support is highlighted. The discussion also includes specifics regarding recruitment and selection of students and sequencing of courses. Evaluation of the program suggests that graduates assume leadership positions within the profession. Honors programs such as this one help to prepare leaders and scholars for tomorrow.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
