Who we are
Access involves representation for all and embracing an individual's unique contributions. Our commitment is to make use of resources, options and opportunities. To ensure access, retention, and success for all, our policies, practices, and attitudes will be reviewed to embrace differences, eliminate barriers, and cultivate a supportive environment leading to successful outcomes.
Community Engagement is developed through collaboration and purposeful unity among the College of Nursing's stakeholders with different customs and values to contribute to the activities in the college in a meaningful way.
College of Nursing resources
CON Cupboard initiative provides essential everyday items to nursing students in need. These resources support students so they can focus on academics, and this enhances their potential for success.
The Program for Academic Support Services (PASS) program aims to help nursing students thrive, not just survive.
The purpose of the ACE committee is to identify the access and belonging strengths, issues, and opportunities within all aspects of the College of Nursing.
Initiatives include:
- Departmental training
- Open discussion events
- Yearly luncheon
Campus Resources
Supports students of marginalized communities with advocacy services, awareness and comprehension of different issues, and assist the campus community and student organizations to expand their efforts to cultivate a belonging community at the university.
Student groups designed for minority and underrepresented communities & students at USC.
The Office of Access and Opportunity is committed to providing information that clearly outlines how we plan for, react to and measure our response to the issues that confront our academic community.
