The fellowship will pay for all lodging and travel expenses. Sears is also now part of the prestigious Fuld network, which provides mentor relationships with nursing leaders of national prominence. Michelle was a remarkable candidate in whom we had the best of confidence, said Dr. Laura Festa, professor and chair of the Henderson nursing department. This is a wonderful acknowledgment of a very deserving student and a tremendous success for Henderson State University. Leaders must have the capacity to dream and envision things not as they are, but as they can be, said Sears.
Vision is predicated in experience and born of hope.
It is my intention to use the fellowship to extend my vision for a time when health disparities will no longer serve to further separate individuals from the wider community.
