Fangonil-Gagalang named to Elevating Leaders in Academic Nursing

Evangeline “Angie” Fangonil-Gagalang, an assistant professor in the nursing department at Cal State San Bernardino, has been named to the newest group of fellows of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Elevating Leaders in Academic Nursing (ELAN), a select group of academic nursing faculty.

The ELAN fellowship program provides participants with a focused assessment experience, content and exercises related to successful executive leadership and the opportunity to establish a peer network that fosters long-term partnerships and collegial support.

“The ELAN fellowship is more than extending an individual’s leadership skills to a higher level, it is establishing a network of colleagues who will support each other in their leadership journey,” Gagalang said. “My ELAN colleagues will be one of my sources of knowledge and strength as I lead others.”

Gagalang serves as the undergraduate nursing program director at CSUSB. Prior to that, she was a full-time lecturer at the university. She has more than 24 years of experience as a registered nurse, 19 of which are in nursing education. Her background is in medical-surgical and emergency nursing.

She received her Ph.D. in nursing at Azusa Pacific University. Her area of research and interest includes student readiness for practice, curriculum development and Precision Health.
