Rutgers School of Nursing and Rutgers Health are active participants in the greater Universitywide Diversity Strategic Planning Process (UDSP).
The UDSP is rooted in a commitment to pursing inclusive excellence though five diversity priorities as outlined by Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway. School of Nursing Dean Linda Flynn is co-chair of the Rutgers Health-UDSP steering committee—together with Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion at Rutgers Health, Sangeeta Lamba—which was created to address these priorities at the chancellor level.
