The mission of SUNY Stony Brook’s Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action is to create an inclusive campus climate. The NCIN program helped to build and strengthen diversity, not only at the school of nursing but at the entire university. During its seven-year NCIN grant period, the school strengthened its mentorship and leadership programs by soliciting feedback from NCIN alumni and using it to guide changes to its programs. The school has expanded its NCIN mentoring program to include other nursing students, including veterans earning their nursing degrees.
