The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing recently launched the Center for Clinical and Community Partnerships (C3P), an initiative designed to become a dynamic hub linking academic, clinical and community spheres of health and wellness.

Nurse leadership goes beyond managing teams; it shapes the future of health care. Nurse leaders advocate for patients, influence policy, drive innovation and improve systems. They navigate complexity, empower teams and champion positive change. As health care grows more person-centered, the need for skilled, compassionate nurse leaders is greater than ever.

When it comes to clinical nursing education, timely and detailed feedback is essential, but often difficult to capture in fast-paced hospital settings. Adam Blank, MSN, RN, a clinical instructor at The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing, is tackling this challenge head-on with an innovative AI tool he developed alongside Ruoke Zhang, master’s student in Computer Science, Paul Toprac, PhD, Professor of Instruction in Computer Science, Cody Antunez, Senior IT Manager at Enterprise Technology, and Bo Xie, PhD, FGSA, Lee and Joseph D. Jamail Endowed Professor in Nursing and Director of the Center for Healthcare Innovation and Technology Advancements (CHITA).

Few leaders leave an impact so enduring that their influence is still felt decades after they step down. Dean Emerita Billye J. Brown, EdD, RN, FAAN, was one of those few—her fingerprints are on every degree earned, every research breakthrough and every student who has walked the halls of the School of Nursing.
