Faculty, staff, students, alumni, and preceptors of Frontier Nursing University (FNU) had the opportunity to attend the 68th Annual American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) Meeting and Exhibition in Orlando, Fl. FNU is excited to highlight many of our community members who presented or were recognized during this year’s ACNM Conference. We commend all of these individuals for their excellent work as nurse-midwifery leaders!

Student Attendance
Once again, we were able to send several students to ACNM through our Professional Organizational Mentoring Program (POMP). POMP allows underrepresented students to be mentored at a designated conference. Through this, students are able to expand their learning, educational, and professional opportunities. This year, students Mariam Fawaz, Zekeyra Guishard, Kaede Johnson, and Ebonique Shanks attended with faculty mentor Dr. Heidi Loomis.
FNU’s Presence
FNU’s exhibit booth was busy with faculty, staff, students, alumni and preceptors! Our booth focused on ways the FNU community can give back, precepting FNU students, connecting with our alumni, or by continuing schooling by getting your DNP.
On Sunday evening, we held the FNU Alumni & Friends Reception where FNU community members gathered around to reconnect. This year's program included a celebration of Dr. Stone and her service to FNU as she prepares to transition to the Distinguished Chair of Midwifery and Nursing. Over 100 people from the FNU community attended.
ACNM is a great place for our faculty members to connect with each other as well. This year, our faculty gathered for a breakfast.
