Danica Sumpter

Danica strives to maintain an evidence-based teaching practice as a Clinical Associate Professor in the School of Nursing. In addition to focusing on learner needs, she also prioritizes faculty development. Her previous work as division chair, past co-chair of the DEI Committee, and with the Black Mamas Community Collective all serve to inform her current efforts as a Macy Faculty Scholar. Because she firmly believes that effectively addressing the root of systemic health inequities requires making the invisible visible, her work focuses on raising the consciousness and capacity of faculty to cultivate an anti-racist pedagogy and teaching praxis.
