About Us

The Yale School of Nursing (YSN) Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) directly contributes to the school's growth to increase equity and improve belonging for all, thereby creating an environment that is reflective of the communities that we serve and supports the overall mission of YSN. ODEI works in concert with the YSN Associate Dean of Equity, who guides the school's overall DEI direction.

Mission

YSN ODEI supports Belonging at Yale's institution-wide pursuit to develop an environment where we can be ourselves, seek our full potential, and freely participate in the vibrant life of a scholarly community and its pursuit of excellence.

Vision

To make YSN a national model for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in nursing.
