Building Student Engagement
Introducing Our New U-M School of Nursing Student Innovation Ambassadors Cohort
A warm welcome to our new UMSN Student Innovation Ambassador leaders for 2023-2024.
These students have expressed an interest in learning more about nursing innovation and importantly, have stepped up to take on some of the activities the school is/will be undertaking to help nurture a culture of innovation among our world’s future nurses.
As part of this Ambassador group, these students help Hiip:
- Work to promote innovation among our nursing students
- Provide feedback on what nursing students need/desire when it comes to innovation at UMSN
- Plan, organize, design, and execute some of our student-centric activities like the Innovate 4 Change hackathon, innovation speakers, and capture innovation stories for the Inspire, Innovate, and Impact podcast
If you are a student who wants to:
- Think outside the box about solutions to complex healthcare problems
- Build your resume with a unique leadership experience
- Network with peers, mentors, and faculty about nursing innovation
- Plan student-facing events related to innovation
Please contact Michelle Munro-Kramer, our Faculty Lead for HiiP’s Student Engagement/Student Ambassadors, at mlmunro@umich.edu.

"Innovation should be considered a cornerstone in healthcare. In nursing, it is where compassionate care meets creativity. Innovation is part of the heartbeat of the Nurse, most often not realized. We must recognize and empower them as they are essential for the future of nursing and healthcare."
