Diversity Committee
The School of Nursing Diversity Committee includes staff, faculty and students who work cooperatively to build upon the mission, vision and values of the School of Nursing. We believe a diverse community of students, faculty and staff will enrich our lives and and create an environment that values and affirms individuals' identities, backgrounds and points of view.
Our goals are to:
- Create a supportive, welcoming and inclusive environment
- Highlight, promote and recognize diverse initiatives
- Ensure diversity is threaded throughout the curriculum
- Serve as a resource for diversity within the SON
We invite and encourage all faculty, staff and students to attend the monthly meetings. Contact Amy Kief, committee chair, for details.
Student Nurse Achievement Program
The School of Nursing's Student Nurse Achievement Program (SNAP) is a successful, ongoing initiative that addresses the critical need to increase the numbers of diverse professional nurses in the workforce. Fully funded by a Health Resources and Services Administration Grant, SNAP is designed to recruit and retain racially, ethnically and culturally diverse high school graduates interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in nursing.
