Meet the Council on Inclusive Engagement

 

The Council on Inclusive Engagement at the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation serves as a guiding light, illuminating the path towards a future where we can realize health equity for all. Comprised of dedicated students, faculty, staff, alums and community allies, our council embarks on a journey of transformation driven by the unwavering commitment to creating a college environment that supports inclusive engagement.


With steadfast dedication, we assess the current landscape, amplifying the voices of those often underserved and pioneering innovative solutions to bridge gaps within healthcare. We are architects of change, providing cultural insights, conducting policy analysis, delivering expansive training and offering targeted programming that elevates our commitment to connectedness, accessibility and dignity for all members of our college community.


Our vision transcends mere inclusion; we recognize that inclusivity is the cornerstone upon which healthcare quality thrives. We envision a future where every student, staff and faculty member belongs and thrives authentically, contributing to a healthcare landscape of interconnectedness and excellence. Our collective mission is clear: cultivating a learning climate where each individual can shine brightly as their true selves, driving forward the nexus of inclusion and excellence in healthcare. Together, we forge a legacy of transformative change that inspires generations to come, advancing health equity for all.
