Nursing Program Diversity Statement
The Elizabethtown College Nursing Program is committed to promoting equity, access and inclusion among students, faculty, and staff. In nursing, we are dedicated as a profession to provide content that meets the needs of a diverse, multicultural population. The Nursing Program values diversity and it is part of our strategic plan, ethos, philosophy, mission, and student learning outcomes. Our goal is to provide a nurturing, safe classroom experience where learners are free to share, challenged to critically think and to create innovative solutions to complex healthcare issues.
In keeping with the historical values of Elizabethtown College, the College endeavors to treat all employees with dignity, justice, and fairness. The College strives to provide equal opportunity and an atmosphere free of discrimination. Elizabethtown College does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, age, disability, marital status, pregnancy, veteran status, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic information, possession of a general education development certificate as compared to a high school diploma, or any other legally protected status. This commitment applies but is not limited, to decisions made with respect to hiring and promotion, in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other College administered programs. Discriminatory acts of any kind are strictly forbidden.
