The free forum will be held from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 16, in the Hanes Art Center. Registration is required. In addition to the 11th annual “International Speakers in Science” lecture featuring Jones, the forum will include a panel of current graduate students who will offer their perspectives on the challenges of post-graduate work and tips on how to prepare for the admissions process. The forum educates undergraduate and high school students about disparities among health professionals, the need for more minority health workers and how students can best prepare for health careers.
