Faculty Mentors

One difference between Penn and other schools of nursing is the mentorship offered to individual students. All students, including undergraduates, are paired with members of the standing faculty including full professors who serve as mentors.

Students of culturally diverse backgrounds are also supported through the Advisory Task Force on Diversity and Cultural Competence.

Many members of the faculty, including Dean Afaf I. Meleis, come from diverse backgrounds. Here, they share their stories, from their beginnings to attaining graduate degrees, and employment at an Ivy League University where they serve as role models.
