DIVERSITY CRNA NEWSLETTER

Dear Diversity CRNA Family,

Happy New Year! As we embark on 2025, I am overjoyed to share an incredible year ahead, packed with opportunities for learning, networking, and advancing diversity in nurse anesthesia. Together, we will make this year unforgettable!

Let us dive right in—our 2025 Diversity CRNA Information Session & Airway Simulation Lab Workshops are set, and here are the dates:

Kaiser Permanente | April 4-6, 2025 (Closed & At Capacity; Saturday Zoom Information Session Open)
University of Pittsburgh | June 20-22, 2025 (Registration Opening Monday)
Rosalind Franklin University | August 22-24, 2025
Emory University | September 12-14, 2025
Midwestern University | October 17-19, 2025

Mark your calendars and prepare for an immersive experience that will inspire, challenge, and equip you on your CRNA journey. Registration for the University of Pittsburgh event is opening soon, while registration for the last three events will open in April 2025. We cannot wait to see you there!

We are equally excited to announce that our Diversity CRNA free services, including the Personal Statement & Resume Review and the Interview Preparation Sessions, will resume in February 2025. These services are here to ensure you have the tools and confidence to thrive.

While we celebrate the opportunities ahead, we also take a moment to reflect on the challenges faced by those impacted by the devastating wildfires in California. Our hearts go out to every individual and family navigating the aftermath of this tragedy. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

As a community, we are stronger together. Let us channel our collective resilience, hope, and determination to make 2025 a year of progress and empowerment. Thank you for your unwavering support and passion for our mission—it is what makes this community so special.

With gratitude and anticipation,
