PaGE in the Office of Nursing Impact
The Office of Nursing Impact (ONI) addresses the compelling need for a bridge between the knowledge we as a school of nursing develop and the application of that knowledge to the health care challenges and issues faced by local, national, and global communities.
ONI encompasses:
- Planetary Health and Global Engagement (PaGE) led by Asia Neupane, Ed.D.
- Strategic Engagement Team (SET) led by Charissa Owens, Ph.D.
- Simulation Center (SU) led by Linda Ghampson, DNP, MSN, RN, CHSE.
At the Office of Nursing Impact, we unite planetary health, diversity and belonging, and simulation education under one shared vision: advancing humanity through impact. By weaving innovation, cultural responsiveness, and global engagement into every learning moment, we aim to uplift lives, fortify communities, and shape a compassionate, courageous future.
