Mission Statement

The goal of Realizing Race is to foster better race relations and raise awareness of the role race plays on Yale's campus. We work to create opportunities for discussion on race issues in positive and non-threatening environments. Realizing Race hosts open forums about campus issues, sponsors interracial and intergroup social events, and acts as a "freelance" facilitator for Yale groups interested in discussing race issues. In addition to facilitating discussions on race for other groups, we support one another in exploring our own identities. Check us out on the web www.yale.edu/~rr.

MMM is a new undergraduate organization whose goal is to address the

issue of minority representation in the medical profession through various
