“Diversity, equity and inclusion is important at Nebraska Methodist College because it helps every student and employee show up each day without fear of being their true selves. The more diverse the college becomes, the better we’re able to serve the needs of the healthcare community. NMC is a place where YOU belong.” - Dr. Deb Carlson, President and CEO
