During winter break, Nicholas Metheny, PhD, MPH, RN, assistant professor, will take part in the first of two 2021/22 Winter Faculty Fellowship Programs supported by the Jewish National Fund-USA Boruchin Center and other donors. The purpose of the program is to boost collaboration between Israeli and U.S. institutions.
Dr. Metheny will represent the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies as one of 25 participants, including 21 professors, from universities and colleges across the U.S.
Participants on the trip (December 26, 2021 – January 9, 2022) will travel throughout Israel, meeting Israeli professors from their respective disciplines and with the same, or similar, research interests, all with the goal of developing collaborations, research projects, co-authoring articles, and establishing exchange programs between faculty and students.
The tour, which more than 300 have already taken part in, is a fully paid intensive program to Israel for full-time U.S.-based academics from a recognized university/learning institution.
In addition to the University of Miami, participating U.S.–based schools include: Auburn University, St. Louis University, University of Central Florida, Rutgers University, Northwest State Community College, Emory University, California State University Fullerton, University of Texas El Paso, Kennesaw State University, George Washington University, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State University, University of Puerto Rico, New Mexico State University, and Thomas Jefferson University.
