ACRED Fall 2019 Meeting Agenda

Lucrecia Moore, ACRED Chair

The Carolina Latinx Center supports Carolina’s Latinx communities and educates the campus and beyond through engagement, scholarship, cultural awareness and public service. We will talk with students about what having a freestanding home for the center means to them, and we will hear about plans for the future. Also, we will enjoy performances that will include Que Rico, UNC’s premiere Latin dance team, which has the mission of sharing and spreading awareness of the Latinx culture through dance and providing a welcoming and inclusive space to all those interested.

Faculty and Carolina Administrators traveled more than 1,000 miles during fall break to learn about the communities and people they serve. Their goal was to learn about the places their students call home. We are gathering some of the participants to talk about the experience. We will hear what they learned, and we will also talk about how the experience will change their work at Carolina.

The Annual Minority Health Conference was launched by the Minority Student Caucus in 1977 and has been conducted nearly every year since then. Major objectives are to highlight health issues of concern to people of color and to attract students interested in minority health to the School. Initially, the Conference was held in Rosenau Auditorium in the School of Public Health, but when attendance increased to up to 400 people during the 1990’s, the conference moved to the William and Ida Friday Continuing Education Center. It is now the largest and longest running student-led health conference in the country. The 40th conference takes place February 28, 2020 at the Friday Center, but we will get a preview.
