“This is another opportunity for JMU students to do something beyond the classroom,” Health Sciences professor Kristi Lewis said.

Because we educate future health care professionals, we recognize our ethical responsibility to develop students who understand and recognize implicit bias, equip them with tools to practice social justice, anti-racism, and advocate for change in health care settings and communities.
