WSU College of Nursing is strengthening clinical education and community care through its DNP and Advanced Practice programs.

These faculty practice initiatives are expanding access, supporting underserved communities, and preparing the next generation of nurse leaders.
Diana Swayze, Teaching Assistant Professor on the Yakima campus, has been named ATI Champion for the 2025–26 academic year. She integrates ATI tools into teaching, clinicals, and simulations—and is working to expand faculty support and student success.
