diversity, equity and inclusion
You belong here.
Diversity is a core value on our campus.
The University of Toledo — and the College of Nursing — is committed to creating an environment where every student, staff member and faculty member feels included and respected. We welcome diverse ideas, thoughts and perspectives.
The College of Nursing embraces differences in ideas and acknowledges the value of learning, working, and social experiences that promote acceptance of human diversity related to age, color, ethnicity, gender, religion disability, social-economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and national origin.
We are committed to creating a learning environment where students provide healthcare for diverse populations in a spectrum of settings.
