WVU School of Nursing associate dean recognized as Outstanding Engaged Research Scholar
Dr. Angel Smothers, Associate Dean for Community Engagement at the WVU School of Nursing, has been recognized as the winner of the Outstanding Engaged Research Scholar award.
"I was born and raised in West Virginia and consider it a great honor to serve community members all across the state through nurse-led community engagement efforts,” Smothers said.
The Excellence in Community Engagement Awards highlights the very best of what WVU has to offer in terms of community engagement. Each year, the Center for Community Engagement recognizes recipients in various categories.
The Outstanding Engaged Research Scholar Award recognizes a member at WVU who has gone above and beyond demonstrating the ability to build capacity within higher education through civic engagement and community partnerships.
“Dr. Smothers is incredibly deserving of this recognition,” said Dr. Tara Hulsey, Dean and E. Jane Martin Endowed Professor. “Her passion for West Virginia is evident and we are grateful for her leadership in community engagement.”
Smothers will be honored during the Annual Engagement Celebration on Thursday, April 20 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Kennedy Club Room at the Erickson Alumni Center.
