The faculty, staff, students and leadership within the U-M School of Nursing as well as our clinical learning and community partners collectively strive to foster an environment that builds on the strengths of our community including our visible and invisible identities, experiences, interests and perspectives.

We understand that students may encounter challenges to our values and we must address those challenges to restore the environment for learning. The purpose of this page is to get students experiencing various forms of mistreatment or unprofessionalism to the immediate help or resources they need to address challenges to our values.

Bias & microaggression incident  

Students are encouraged to use this guidance to address alleged discriminatory, disrespectful, unprofessional, unethical, biased, racist or otherwise mistreatment they encounter or observe others encountering in curricular, clinical, online or co-curricular contexts of learning. 

This includes behavior that stereotypes, excludes, harasses or otherwise harms on the bases of visible and invisible social identities including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sex, ability, sexual identity, immigration status, linguistic identity, age, weight, political identity or religion. For example, behavior that is racially or ethnically marginalizing, offensive, tokenizing, belittling or otherwise harmful can be addressed with this guidance.

Talk to Someone About It

It is highly recommended that any student who experiences maltreatment make an appointment with U-M Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). All CAPS professionals have extensive training. Taking the time to reach out to CAPS is an act of self-care that is incredibly important. There are many ways to connect with CAPS.

  • Call CAPS during regular business hours at (734) 764-8312
  • Schedule an initial consultation online 24/7 by visiting the website at caps.umich.edu

Maps & Wayfinding

The Office of Community Culture plays a vital role in shaping the academic and professional environment at the School of Nursing. Rooted in the belief that a strong, inclusive community enhances learning, collaboration and well-being, we work to ensure that every member of our school—students, faculty and staff alike—feels respected, supported and connected.

Our work centers on building and sustaining a culture where differences are embraced, equity is actively pursued and inclusion is the standard. We coordinate programs, workshops and dialogues that explore issues of identity, belonging and systemic inequities in health care and education.

In addition, the Community Culture department serves as a hub for initiatives, opportunities and celebrations that strengthen our shared values. We partner across the school and with the wider university community to help foster an environment that reflects our identity as a school committed not only to academic, research and clinical excellence but also to human connection and health for all.

Whether you’re looking for support, hoping to make your voice heard, or seeking ways to get involved, this is your space. Together, we’re building a community where everyone belongs.
