Date/Time/Location: Thursday, Nov. 16, 5 - 7 p.m. at the Universities at Shady Grove
Purpose:
- The Black Student Nurses Association believes in fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within the School of Nursing and the health care industry.
- As part of our commitment to this mission, we are hosting an event dedicated to providing guidance, inspiration, and support to minority nursing students.
- Nursing students from underrepresented backgrounds may face academic and social barriers that have potential impact on student success (Green, 2020)*.
- Offering mentoring programs that connect students with resources for success is a necessary strategy to build a more diverse nursing workforce and to advance health equity.
Event:
There will be a structured dialogue panel, followed by an organized networking event, with the goal of fostering conversations among nursing students and mentors on a range of nursing-related topics. In the final hour of the event, there will be a social hour during which light refreshments will be provided.
