Committed To Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
INHCC DEI 2021 Summer Program
INHCC's Inaugural Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Summer Program immerses high school and/or community college students into a 6-8 week paid mentoring program designed to introduce them to neuroHIV studies. Mentors at each site will provide their mentee with experiential research activities. Collaboratively, the mentors will contribute to career development and professional skill building across the cohort of mentees in virtual small group meetings. Several of the INHCC’s 25+ global collaborators will contribute to a virtual seminar series covering topics on neuroHIV. We will continue to monitor & adhere to COVID guidance and modify our plans as needed.
