College of Nursing Dean Greer Glazer Joins Board of The Sullivan Alliance
Greer Glazer, PhD, dean of the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Nursing, has joined the Board of Directors of The Sullivan Alliance to Transform the Health Professions.
"As we look forward to the future, we recognize the need for expanded interprofessional training and care delivery to address the health demands of our nation," said The Sullivan Alliance Chairman and CEO Louis Sullivan, MD. "As a part of our board of directors, Dr. Glazer's strong leadership skills and deep engagement in diversity efforts will be a tremendous asset to our efforts to increase diversity across the health workforce."
Glazer has been involved in efforts to diversify the nursing workforce since 2004 with significant HRSA foundation and health care funding for pipeline institutional projects. Her professional organization involvement includes AACN Board of Directors, the Coalition Urban Serving Universities Urban Health Initiative Committee, and past chairperson of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Executive Development Series.
"I am honored and humbled to serve on such an important board under the leadership of an icon, Dr. Louis Sullivan," said Glazer. "I hope that in some small way I can contribute to the diversification of the health care workforce in the United States which is sorely needed." Glazer is UC's seventh dean of nursing and 14th senior leader of the college, which was led for its first 51 years by a superintendent or director.

Every nursing student’s journey includes a mentor who helps transform theory into practice. In hospitals, clinics, and community settings, preceptors provide hands-on guidance that helps students build confidence, refine clinical judgment, and develop the skills needed to care for patients independently. Each year, the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing recognizes outstanding clinical educators through its Outstanding Preceptor Awards. Nominated by the students they mentor, the awards honor two prelicensure preceptors and two advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) preceptors — one from the Greater Cincinnati region and one from outside the region —whose commitment to teaching has made an extraordinary impact on student learning and professional development.
