Dr. Watts notes that 80 percent of the minority students who have enrolled in the program have been black. This year's class consisted of 37 black students, 11 students from the Appalachian art^ajid four In- dian student^. " Students attending last week's conference will return for one of two summer sessions. Each was assigned a special project w hich must be completed prior to enrollment in the summer programs, which are coordinated by 39 Bow man Gray clinicians who . volunteer their services to work with the students. "Basically, the conference is an orientation for students chosen for the summer program and for their parents," Dr. Watts says. "They're given the curriculum and assigned individual projects." During last weekend's conference, students and their parents^toured Ihe medical school Facilities and heard presentations from the staff, faculty and current students at Bowman Gray. Since the program's inception, the greatest concentration of students has come from the Durham area. Dr. Watts speculates that this is due in part to the fact that the Triangle area is home to the state's school of science and mathematics. Seven minority students from Forsyth County registered for last weekend's conference. They are Varian Styles of Carver High School, Tiffany Davis H ~~~1 Social Notes |n|l ~ jT ^ ' Noted authc D ? . ... ^ Ci^nrat* ^nhira u/ill r?r*?c#?r?t o iPLE m k ^K. .JWjB K\ j M i M fl I fl m T** q. 1 K - mmQ M "VF? -^M . . -jM M|k Mtlt .^fl ^<1 .^S*" * v? 4ml! **? ^ I JC ^ 2^,.* i @^>v J' ? . ilh-v K^jS Wa \ - <y, iJ Dr. Velma Watts, left, director of ^ninority affairs as Dr. Vicki Lovings explains what attracted her t of Salem Academy, Carlos Butler and Brett Murphy of Bishop McGuinness High School, Eric Griggs and John Crews of Mount Tabor High School and Clifton Gillian of Reynolds High School.
