Background: Several national organizations have issued calls for academic nursing to create inclusive environments. Inclusive environments are needed given the vast inequities that plague the demography of nursing coupled with the need to serve diverse populations.
Method: This article describes one school's journey toward inclusive excellence. A framework and infrastructure were developed detailing the strategy to enable the school to move toward an environment that supports inclusive excellence.
Results: The framework identified five priority areas to mobilize change: leadership for inclusive excellence, student service delivery and engagement, recruitment retention and advancement, community engagement, and research and scholarship in health equity, along with metrics and measures to monitor progress.
Conclusion: Inclusive excellence is an ongoing journey rather than a destination that requires leadership commitment as well as faculty, staff, and student involvement to create a diverse environment where all individuals feel valued and respected. .

Despite the increase in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) roles, best practices around these positions have not been established broadly, with less information available for academic departments of surgery. The vice chair for DEI in a department of surgery is charged with embedding DEI as an integral component of all operational aspects of the department in keeping with the agreed-upon definition of surgical excellence. Given the dynamic nature of the DEI space, now more than ever inspirational leaders are needed to occupy these roles to transform the surgical environment into one inclusive of all.

Geographic ranges of ticks and tick-borne pathogens within North America are shifting due to environmental changes and human-driven activities, with species of public health concern presenting a multifaceted risk to human health. Innovative strategies and continued collaboration to control tick populations are needed to combat this growing threat. We conducted a scoping review of the literature to describe the nature of applied tick control research conducted in North America (Canada, Mexico, and the United States) to date, with the goal of describing key concepts and identifying gaps in this research area.
