Dr. Stephenson is honored to have this chance to serve the UW community. “I am most excited about the opportunity to provide additional ways to support students in their pursuit to become highly skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate care providers. The national events of the preceding year have compelled me to seek more active ways to affect positive change in our community and beyond. My goal is to promote growth and stimulate thoughtful discourse on topics of equity, inclusion, and cultures as they relate to our learning environments and in general to our shared institutional values of service, scholarship, science, and social responsibility,” says Dr. Stephenson.
