Mission Statement
CI Nursing Program faculty and staff embrace justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in our aim to prepare students for nursing practice; to meet community and workforce needs through teaching professional values and care of diverse individuals and populations including Black, Indigenous, People of Color and those with intersectional differences and identities.[1] This will be accomplished by engaging in respectful and honest dialogue, valuing and respecting each member of our community, and examining ourselves for biases and assumptions to increase our awareness as we build programing and curriculum to educate the next generation of nurses.
