Even heroes have heroes. In the Sinclair School of Nursing, one woman many look up to is Robin C. Harris, assistant teaching professor and director of the Sinclair doctor of nursing practice (DNP) program.

Harris recently received the Graduate Professional Council Gold Chalk Award for Excellence in Teaching. You can read about all the awards here: Best of the best.

This award is the most recent of many for Harris. In recent years, she has been nominated for the Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching, selected for the Greater Missouri Leadership Challenge, and presented with the Central Region Excellence Award from the University Professional and Continuing Education Association (UPCEA).

Harris’ achievements reflect the excellence of the Sinclair School’s DNP program. The DNP also is accessible online, so practicing nurses can earn their doctorates while fulfilling their clinical responsibilities.

Students can choose from six areas of study:

  • Adult-gerontology clinical nurse specialist
  • Family nurse practitioner
  • Family psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner
  • Nursing leadership and innovations in health care
  • Pediatric clinical nurse specialist
  • Pediatric nurse practitioner
