As part of its commitment to advancing excellence in academic nursing\, AACN supports schools in developing admissions processes that are mission-driven\, evidence-informed\, transparent\, and aligned with institutional values and program goals. \nThis webinar introduces AACN’s Mission-Aligned Admissions Process (MAAP)\, a structured approach for examining alignment across access\, policy\, criteria\, process\, and outcomes. Participants will explore how academic metrics\, applicant experiences\, and personal attributes can contribute to a balanced review when criteria are clearly defined and applied through transparent and consistent practices. \nThe session will also introduce AACN’s MAAP Services\, which help schools understand the process\, assess their current admissions system\, and develop and implement a mission-aligned approach. Whether a program is beginning to examine its admissions practices or looking to strengthen an established process\, this webinar provides a practical foundation for continuous improvement. \nSpeakers\nWanda Thruston\, DNP\, APRN\, RN\nDirector of Access and Engagement\nAmerican Association of Colleges of Nursing \nBrigit Carter\, PhD\, RN\, CCRN\, FADLN\, FAAN\nChief Access and Engagement Officer\nAmerican Association of Colleges of Nursing \nOutcomes: \n\nDescribe the foundational principles and components of AACN’s Mission-Aligned Admissions Process (MAAP).\nExplain how access\, policy\, criteria\, process\, and outcomes align with institutional mission\, values\, and program goals.\nDifferentiate among academic metrics\, applicant experiences\, and personal attributes and explain how each contributes to a balanced admissions review.\nIdentify opportunities to strengthen transparency\, consistency\, and alignment within current admissions practices.\nDescribe AACN 3-tier MAAP Services which help schools learn the process\, assess their current admissions system\, and develop and implement a mission-aligned approach.\n\nPricing and CE Credit\nThis webinar is free to deans\, faculty\, staff and students from AACN member schools of nursing. All non-member audiences will be required to pay a $59 webinar fee. \nContinuing Nursing Education\nOne nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) credit is associated with this webinar; attendees must be present for the entire webinar and complete the evaluation to receive a certificate of completion. \nThe American Association of Colleges of Nursing is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. \n  URL:https://nursing.wsu.edu/event/an-introduction-to-aacns-mission-aligned-admissions-process-maap/ CATEGORIES:Continuing Education END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261006 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261010 DTSTAMP:20260917T121829 CREATED:20260805T212956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260805T212956Z UID:58103-1791244800-1791590399@nursing.wsu.edu SUMMARY:2026 IHNRE SUMMIT DESCRIPTION:INDIGENOUS WELLNESS\n\n\nTRANSFORMING NURSING AND HEALTH RESEARCH IMPACTS\n\nThe purpose of the Summit is to share research findings and approaches that address the health and well-being of Indigenous populations worldwide (e.g. Aboriginal\, First Nations\, Native Americans\, etc.).
