Welcome to the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging!
At Duke University School of Nursing, diversity and inclusiveness are core values that have been the center of a concerted effort to create an environment that allows everyone to thrive no matter who they are. Each of us has a moral responsibility to stand against racism and hate in all its forms, to be self-aware, and to make equitable choices daily. We encourage diversity in many forms: diversity of lifestyles and beliefs, thoughts and ideas, educational innovation, personal and cultural backgrounds, professional experiences, and global perspectives.
For the last seven years, the Duke University School of Nursing has been recognized as a Best Nursing School for Men in Nursing by the American Assembly for Men in Nursing. In 2021, the Duke University School of Nursing earned its second Health Professions Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award presented by INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. This award is considered a national honor that is awarded to colleges and universities that exhibit an outstanding dedication to diversity and inclusion.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging is here to support students, faculty, and staff, ensuring that each individual feels supported, heard, and respected. Our doors are open, providing a safe and brave space for any member of the Duke University School of Nursing community.
