Diversity Initiative Group

This student driven diversity group focuses on support and education of other minority students pursuing graduate school and a career in science. DIG members will share their passion for research by networking with young students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and by serving as "pen-pals" for minority recruits in the Molecular Medicine PhD Program.

DIG
DIG members (L to R) - Alvaro Alvarado, Mark Barnes, Maricruz Rivera, Gospel Enyindah-Asonye, Shamone Gore, Francis Enane and Isaac Adjei (not pictured: Sidney Jones)

 

"It is comforting to know that I have a group of students that I can interact with regularly whose cares and challenges are similar to my own and whose excitement to volunteer in our community will be a driving force for our group.” - Shamone Gore, Chair, Diversity Initiative Group
