AACN’s Spring Annual Meeting - Special NursingCAS Session
2016-03-20 12:15 - 13:15 UTC
Promoting Diversity in Admissions, Lessons Learned from Dentistry
Join us for lunch and an opportunity to learn from Kim D’Abreu, MPH, the Senior Director for Access, Diversity, and Inclusion at the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) about how to adapt admissions processes to better promote diversity. During this session, Ms. D’Abreu will explore strategies on how to practice holistic admissions by recruiting diverse students from a wide variety of backgrounds. You can download a copy of the slides.
Dentistry, like nursing, has a centralized application service. Sixty-seven dental schools (the vast majority of ADEA’s membership) participate in their main application service, AADSAS. Many dental schools use holistic review strategies that include looking at the total applicant, not just grades and test scores. Factors considered in the holistic admissions process are experiences, personal attributes, and metrics. Please RSVP by March 14, as space is limited to the first 90 attendees that reply. You can also RSVP via email.
Speaker Biography: Ms. D’Abreu promotes innovative programs and practices aimed at diversity and inclusion as well as strategies that advance robust and diverse learning environments in dental education. These activities focus on efforts to increase the diversity of students, faculty, and administrators in allied, pre-doctoral, and advanced dental education programs.
She is the former Deputy Director of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Pipeline, Profession & Practice Community-Based Dental Education Pipeline Program at the Center for Family and Community Medicine at Columbia University. She completed her bachelor’s degree at Johns Hopkins University and her graduate degree from Columbia University.

View Agenda
View Materials

Address: The College of Nursing (CON) building is located at 4111 Dewey Avenue, Omaha, NE 68198 which is at the corner of 42nd Street and Dewey Avenue. It is a 5-story brown brick building.
Room: CON 1011 (located on the 1st floor). You will likely be entering on the 2nd floor/Deans Office level. Take the elevator to the 1st floor.
Parking: Park in Lot 15S which is located 2 blocks east of the CON building. If you are using GPS, 516 S. 39th St. should get you to the parking lot. Check signs in the lot to make sure you’re parking in 15S (Students) rather than 15E (Employees). 15S is on your left.
Directions: From Lot 15S, take a right from 42nd Street on to Dewey Avenue (if coming from the south) or a left (if coming from the north). Proceed East on Dewey Avenue to 39th Street, turn right and proceed into the parking lot. It is about a 3 minute walk to CON. There is quite a bit of on-campus construction with some closed sidewalks. The best walking route would be to walk back to Dewey Avenue and then come down the hill toward 42nd Street.
Map: Here is map showing the College of Nursing building and Parking Lot 15. If you need assistance, please call us at (402) 559-4110.
