Resources
We’ve compiled a variety of resources to support the School of Medicine:
“Equity – a simple 6 letter word that can change our world…Equity will allow a safe environment in which all individuals are seen, heard, and supported in accessing each and every opportunity available. With equity in mind, in all that we do, we work towards breaking down and ultimately liberating our world of systemic barriers that are keeping our people from unlocking their full, gleaming potential.”

Student Testimonials
“Equity is when everyone gets a seat at the table and is given the same resources to thrive, regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender. Equity is when we acknowledge systemic barriers that have been an institution to keep certain people at the bottom. Not only do we recognize these barriers but we find ways to uproot it by providing people adequate resources that they need to thrive and overcome these barriers.”
— Abigail Boateng, ARCHES Program, ’20
“To me, equity means giving everyone the platform they need to succeed in a world that has not given them that platform before. Providing opportunities for people to reach the same level of success that people who have not faced barriers or challenges have. Equity is important to provide an equal, stable platform that ensures everyone has a chance at being successful. Pipeline programs like ARCHES do just that.”
— Kahiau Cockett-Nagamine, ARCHES Program, ’20
