Our Advisory Board is responsible for considering and making recommendations regarding DUSON's diversity and inclusion efforts. The Board contributes its unique experiences and perspectives by periodically reviewing policies, making recommendations about initiatives, and helping the School of Nursing achieve the diversity and inclusion goals as outlined in the Office of Diversity of Inclusion Framework.
The Advisory Board also provides guidance and direction in understanding historical and current nondiscrimination laws, as well as access and equity for program planning in higher education institutions.
