Belongingness Matters New grant funding focuses on creating a greater sense of belonging for students and diversifying the nursing workforce. Belongingness is proven to enable academic success. When students feel they are truly accepted and supported in a learning environment, they are more likely to achieve their goals. That is one of the reasons UC College of Nursing embraces opportunities that cultivate a climate of inclusive excellence. To further this mission and better serve disadvantaged and underrepresented minority (URM) students, the college sought out and won a four-year $1.7 million Nursing Workforce Diversity grant titled “Cultivating Undergraduate Nursing Resilience and Equity” (CURE).
