Our commitment
At Penn Nursing we put a premium on diversity within our ranks for both students and faculty alike, and work hard to overcome the barriers to representation that challenge our field.
A supportive environment
You’ll find that everyone—from the Dean to the faculty to our students—support and advance our efforts to diversify our school and field.
Led by Assistant Dean for Equity and Inclusion, Lisa Lewis, our Office of Equity and Inclusion is focused on bringing culturally sensitive knowledge into the classroom, while providing resources to foster the success of underrepresented minorities.
Get involved
We bring students, faculty, and staff together on our Diversity and Inclusivity Advisory Committee to share perspectives and provide leadership in steering School policy, curriculum, and support for diversity initiatives.
By paying careful attention to diversity in nursing science and education, our goal is to instill in our students the capacity to provide the highest level of care to all people.
