Freeman Hrabowski is co-founder of the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program, a national model for talented minority students in the areas of science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. The goal of the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program is to increase the number of minorities, particularly African-Americans, who earn PhDs in the sciences. This is accomplished through scholarship support, summer internships, research experiences, interaction with a professional mentor and special academic support, cultural enrichment and career-oriented workshops. Participate in a historic dialogue on the factors that affect a community's health. This open event will feature a PBS interactive satellite broadcast that will allow higher education, public health and community partners to interact and share strategies with counterparts from across the country.
Space is limited.
A reception will follow the program. Sponsored by the HMS Office of Community Outreach Programs. After filling out brief questionnaires, users receive an estimate of their risk for breast, prostate, colon, or lung cancer. Users also learn how different behaviors influence their risk and where to focus their prevention efforts. For more information about the site or the public demonstration, please call 432-4608.
