向日葵视频鈥檚 College of Nursing is committed to significantly advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion both within and outside our walls. This commitment is rooted in our strategic initiatives and supported by generous gifts such as a鈥�$31 million transformational donation鈥痶o the College of Nursing to boost scholarships and increase student diversity. Growing our diverse faculty and staff will help our students prepare for the shifting demographic landscape, contribute to a more culturally inclusive learning environment, help advance social equity and improve retention of students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds.
