| The
Minority Student Caucus consists of students of color in the
School who wish to join. The Caucus was founded in the early 1970's
as a vehicle for bringing the concerns of minority students to
the attention of the School's Administration and for working to
attract more students of color to the School. The Caucus founded
Minority Health Conference in 1977
and has conducted it annually since then. The Caucus also works
with the School administration on initiatives to link to the
Historically Black Colleges and Universities, especially in North
Carolina, and to institutions serving other minority groups. |
