Villanova College of Nursing Faculty Partner with the National League for Nursing (NLN) to Launch Educational Resources on Providing Care for Individuals with Disability
It is estimated that there are more than 60 million people in the United States living with some form of disability, yet, many healthcare providers lack the proper education and knowledge of how to communicate with and care for this vulnerable population. Together with the National League for Nursing’s (NLN) Center for Excellence in the Care of Vulnerable Populations, Villanova College of Nursing faculty are launching “Advancing Care Excellence for Persons with Disabilities” (ACE.D), a free program offered online that gives nurse educators the tools they need to teach nursing students proficiency in disability care.

Villanova University Chemistry Professor Amanda Grannas, PhD, Part of Research Team Awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) Grant to Study Changes in Arctic Ocean Sea/Air Interactions
Amanda M. Grannas, PhD, Professor of Chemistry in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Villanova University, is one of three principal investigators who will lead a research team recently awarded a three-year, $1 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to study the interactions between the surface of the Arctic Ocean and the atmosphere above it. The project will specifically address how a dramatic loss of sea ice and increasing surface temperatures affect marine aerosol production in the region. Marine aerosols influence cloud formation and precipitation, which, in turn, affect climate.
