Meet the Dean

As the Founding Dean of the Antioch Graduate School of Nursing and Health Professions, Diane White wants to bring this perspective to nurses who are coming to graduate school to expand their professional opportunities.
But she recognizes that these encounters don’t happen in the vacuum of a clinical setting. They’re shaped by the healthcare system as a whole. Which is, in turn, are shaped by systemic biases. This is why White is committed to re-imaging healthcare in the United States, transforming it into a system that works for all.
