Our Advisory Board is comprised of staff, faculty, alumni, and student representatives. We provide strategic guidance, support, and advocacy to advance the mission of the DEIB Office.
Why Is The Advisory Board Important:

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane. MLK Jr.
"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."Marissa Abram, PhD, PMHNP-BC, CARN-AP, FIAAN

"This is important because we need to strive to provide everyone with a voice. The feeling of belonging is important to preserve in our community."
