 As an NCIN grantee, the nursing school implemented new strategies to recruit diverse students. School administrators participated in the Heartland Latino Leadership Youth Empowerment Summit College Fair to recruit Latino youth and invited officials from inner-city high schools and nonprofit organizations to attend a Nursing Showcase Open House at the college of nursing. School officials also worked with colleagues from the University of Nebraska Omaha to recruit students into its accelerated BSN program. Activities included briefings to academic advising groups and meetings with groups representing students in the health professions; African- American, Latino, Iranian, and Asian student associations; and the Global
Friends international group.
