Diversity Committee
Mission:
To reinforce the tenets of the CON Seven Pillars of Diversity by providing guidance, resources, and leadership that reflects a broad view of diversity, advancing the college’s capacity to:
- Build more humane relationships across different generations and life experiences,
- Engage in meaningfully civil and brave dialogues on important social issues that impact health equity, psychological safety and belonging within our college and UI community
- Celebrate without judgement our shared and different identities, perspectives, and life experiences.
- Support the intellectual and practice growth of our nursing students, faculty, and staff to be more culturally responsive in the delivery of care and/or services, programs, research, and service
- Model ongoing commitment, respect, and accountability for creating and sustaining a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible work and learning environment that reflects the profession of nursing.
