“Representation across medicine, veterinary medicine, social sciences, business, biology, and other fields is essential because who participates in knowledge production and professional practice shapes whose experiences are understood, and whose communities are served." — Dr. Arlette Herry, vice president for multicultural affairs
In honor of Black History Month, SGU spoke to current students and graduates of the School of Medicine and School of Veterinary Medicine to learn what representation in their fields truly means to them. Their stories highlight resilience, progress, and the continued importance of elevating voices in healthcare that have historically been underrepresented.
