The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing Community Climate and Care Committee is honored to recognize Pride Month. During the month of June, across the globe, Pride Month is celebrated in tribute to those involved in the Stonewall Riots. With parades, festivals and concerts taking place across the globe, there is an opportunity for you to get involved, learn social history and raise political awareness of current issues facing the LGBTQ community.
Join the UT Austin School of Nursing in celebrating the life, legacy and service of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King’s unparalleled contributions to racial justice for Black Americans have been revolutionary. His values and historical place in American history educate us, and coming generations, on the importance of acceptance. On this day of service, we encourage you to strengthen your communities, bridge barriers, create solutions to social problems, and move us closer to Dr. King’s vision of a “Beloved Community.”
The UT Austin School of Nursing Community Climate and Care Committee presents the Anti-Racist Teaching (ART) Club. For those interested in the practice of ART, join faculty and staff as we discuss ways to continue practicing antiracism (inside and outside of the classroom) and the things that sometimes get in the way.

Started in the spring of 2018, our faculty & staff book club created a space for faculty and staff to learn/unlearn concepts and processes related to race and racism. It also provided time and space to collectively reflect on our experiences and uncover and challenge assumptions that influence our ways of thinking and acting in our professional roles as members of the UT Austin School of Nursing and broader community.
While our country was still processing and mourning the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, we watched as George Floyd’s life was taken right before our eyes. We continue to grieve the losses of Mike Ramos, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, and countless other black men, women, and children who have died at the hands of those who devalue human life. These traumatic events and resultant suffering are unfortunately not new to communities of color, and are symptoms of a deeper problem with which our nation has yet to grapple.
The purpose of our Movie Night is to bring together students, faculty, staff, and the broader community on and off campus to view and discuss a film that examines some aspect of race and racism. Movie night is co-hosted annually, usually in the spring semester, by the Community Climate and Care Committee and Nurses for Racial Justice (a student organization).
