Manning Price Spratlen Center for Antiracism & Equity in Nursing (MPSCARE)

To shape the center and determine its priorities, listening sessions will be held scheduled in the near future to hear the interests of faculty, staff, students, alumni, nurse leaders, healthcare institutions, community organizations and professional associations.
