Measuring Progress
Equity and Inclusion Dashboard
The following are annual priorities that have been selected and adopted by College of Nursing Departments, Committees, and Offices to advance equity and inclusion. Progress on accomplishing these priorities is measured three times during the academic year. These priorities have been selected for Year 1 of implementation (AY 2023-2024). Year 2 priorities (AY 2024-2025) will be uploaded to the dashboard in fall 2024.

Climate Survey Heading link
The Climate Survey (above) was conducted in 2023 in partnership with Hanover Research.
The objective of the Survey was to understand what current students, faculty, and staff are satisfied or dissatisfied with, uncover perceptions of UIC Nursing in terms of mental health, support services, DEI, community engagement, and development, identify perceptions of current strengths and weaknesses, and analyze the learning environment. The Survey will be used to inform strategic priorities that UIC Nursing should focus on moving forward.

UIC Nursing collects self-reported data annually on the diversity of the student body.
They consider race and ethnicity, and gender. Data from the previous academic years are presented above.
