Join us for the Nexus Summit, an annual convening that serves as a forum for deep, rich learning opportunities, and a space for community building. The Nexus Summit 2024 marks the ninth year of the interprofessional practice and education community coming together to learn about, from, and with each other in the Nexus of practice and education as we strive to impact health and learning outcomes that matter most to the people we serve.
This year the conference will once again be held virtually to empower the most accessible engagement from the national and global interprofessional practice and education community.
Land Acknowledgement:
We acknowledge that the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities is built within the traditional homelands of the Dakota people. Minnesota comes from the Dakota name for this region, Mni Sóta Maḳoce, which loosely translates to the land where the waters reflect the skies.
It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
