NURS 1805 Seacole Scholars Seminar

The Seacole Scholars program is a living and learning community for first-year nursing students that are interested and committed to increasing the diversity of the nursing profession. We highly encourage students of color, first-generation to college students, and Montserrat students to apply for the Seacole Scholars program. Scholars will live in the same residence hall and will be required to participate in a 1-credit course that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
