The Department of Medicine Minority Recruitment and Retention Committee is proud to be a sponsor of the upcoming event Faces of Change: The Legacy of African Americans at Duke University School of Medicine.
"When it comes to diversity, many of the School of Medicine 'firsts' occurred in the Department of Medicine," said Laura Svetkey, MD, MHS, vice chair for faculty development and diversity. "We continue to work hard to lead in diversity, equity and the elimination of health disparities. A program like Faces of Change inspires us in these efforts by showing us where we came from and by introducing us to the remarkable folks who paved the way."
The event, to be held on April 19, is part of the university's nine-month commemoration: Celebrating the Past, Charting the Future: Commemorating 50 Years of Black Students at Duke. For more information, contact Kimberley Evans or Camille Frazier-Mills.
