Summary:Academic nursing prepares nurses for the future to deliver, improve, and innovate health care. Moving forward on this imperative requires nurse leaders to support diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts thus partnering with individuals, families, communities, and other sectors to advance health equity, reduce health disparities, and improve care. The purpose of this article is to describe the creation, launch, and evaluation of an Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in an academic nursing institution. Lessons learned are shared to assist others in their own journey to establish a DEI structure within an academic setting, especially one with a robust academic-practice partnership. The ideas shared are easily transferable to nonacademic settings.
