title: Advancing nursing in the academic community: adopt an administrator.
abstract: The role of faculty in nursing schools is unique. Faculty members belong to the community of scholars, as well as the community of practitioners. The authors describe a program to educate key university leaders about the role of nursing faculty. The program achieved its objectives in a timely, cost-effective manner, and could be easily replicated at other universities.
