Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

St. Elizabeth College of Nursing (SECON) provides a strong foundation of theory and nursing practice in an environment of academic excellence promoting active citizenship, and life-long learning in a caring learning environment for diverse student populations. SECON is committed to embracing diversity and strives to recognize each individual for the unique perspectives and contributions they bring to help create an inclusive culture within our college community. We believe that applying the Franciscan Values of fostering peace, justice and respect for individuals while demonstrating compassion, humility and reflection allows us to ensure a community of inclusion, regardless of one’s age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, veteran status, religion, learning style or perspective.
