Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The School of Nursing seeks to eliminate systemic racism in healthcare by incorporating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives throughout our learning, research and practice. More than 40 years ago, Clara E. Bell, Purdue’s first Black nursing faculty member, recognized the pervasiveness of systemic racism in healthcare. Today, we acknowledge the work still to be done, and we strive to carry on Dr. Bell’s legacy through our guiding principles.
