Already a White Coat Sponsor for the school, Davina Frick is building even more bridges — this time to the patients the future nurses will serve — through a three-year gift supporting the school’s diversity, equity, identity, and belonging (DEIB) programming.
Such philanthropic support is crucial to the work Associate Dean of DEIB Jermaine Monk’s team office does in helping to create a more inclusive environment within the school through culture and curriculum development. “I think that philanthropy is so important not just to the institution, but to the work of smaller departments like mine,” Monk says. “It helps further the mission.”
