Mission

Our mission of the Diversity Committee of the School of Allied Health is to enhance awareness among minority students of secondary schools within the Kansas City area about health careers. We also hope to lay the foundation of understanding amongst faculty, staff and our students of our uniqueness and our pride for our many cultures reflected amongst the peoples within the School of Allied Health through communication, education, consideration, support, acceptance, and friendship.
