DEIB Advisory Board

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.

Why Is The Advisory Board Important:

"My commitment to DEI-B reflects my commitment to eliminate health inequities. Healthcare providers must value and respect inherent human dignity for all, if we are going to improve health outcomes."

"Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging work is important to me because it ensures every voice is valued, empowering communities to innovate and grow together while unique perspectives expose the blind spots we may have.”
