NEXT LIVES HERE
Building on Legacy Ann Gakumo joins the UC College of Nursing to lead diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and build on Greer Glazer’s legacy. Ann Gakumo has worn a lot of hats throughout her 20-year nursing career. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Tuskegee University and a PhD in nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, she has served as a critical care nurse, research scientist, educator, administrator and community organizer, to name a few. In August, she added another cap to her collection by filling the UC College of Nursing’s Greer Glazer Endowed Chair in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — the first position of its kind at a nursing college nationwide. In this role, Gakumo will collaborate with faculty, staff and students to lead the college’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts.
