Today is International Nurses Day! This year’s theme, instituted by the International Council of Nurses, is “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives.”

We asked Lisa M. Taylor, Doctor of Nursing Practice, RN, FNP-BC, BC-ADM, C-DCES, MPH what empowers her to do the work that she does every day, and how she empowers the nurses around her. She is a clinician educator – assistant professor at the UNM College of Nursing (CON) in the Graduate/Professional programs, and also works as the the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the CON.

"What empowers me is working with learners from incredibly diverse backgrounds who will ultimately become the clinicians and nurse leaders our state needs, particularly in rural and frontier communities. Being a part of their journeys, that I hope will one day lead them back to the CON as faculty and preceptors, energizes me and it’s an honor to join them on their journeys."

Chinese American Women and the Making of Asian American Community
📆Thursday, May 7, 2026
🕗12:00pm; Held on Zoom

In June 1982, Vincent Chin, a 27-year old America-born Chinese engineer in Detroit, was murdered by a bat-wielding unemployed autoworker and his stepson in Highland Park, Michigan. This event introduced a series of events that have been credited with changing the political consciousness of Asian Americans at the time.

Although most stories about the murder of Vincent Chin mention his mother’s emotional pleas for justice, there has been minimal scholarly analysis of Lily Chin’s participation in the movement.

Dr. Karen Leong will provide three points of analysis: Motherhood, Legibility, and how Chinese American immigrant women’s challenges to the US legal system contributes to articulation of a specific Asian American Women's epistemology of reproductive rights and inclusion.

Throughout the year, we've welcomed middle and high school students from a myriad of areas across New Mexico to experience and explore health professions right on our beautiful campus. They've also connected with health care experts and medical students, and have become more grounded individuals through identity development and community engagement. Stay tuned as we celebrate these students during their Dream Makers graduations! 🎉

Hooray for promoting health professions! 🎉
Thank you to UNM Health Professions Symposium for having us at their 2026 Health Professions Symposium last Saturday! It was great to speak with high school and college students from all across the state about how they can get plugged in with health career pathway programming to support their educational and professional journeys. This event is such an amazing way for students to acquire so much information and insight to in turn explore and achieve their health career goals. We're already looking forward to next year!

Participating in this year's creates a wave of positive health equity impacts that reach throughout our community. Your contribution allows our office to expand our programs to grow New Mexico's healthcare workforce through academic, leadership, and mentorship engagement. 🌟

To get a snapshot of your impact, hear from Elicia Trujillo, an alumna of our Communities to Careers Dream Makers program, and an MD candidate of the Class of 2028 UNM School of Medicine:

"Dream Makers was one of the most impactful experiences of my high school years. It provided me with meaningful leadership opportunities and helped shape my passion for medicine. As a second-year medical student at UNM, my favorite part is walking the same halls where I once stood as a Dream Makers student, imagining a day I would become a medical student. Today, I have the privilege of living that dream."
