- Serve as a community that advocates for SPH students of color’s academic and mental well-being and needs, offering guidance and support for those who request it.
- Bring in senior faculty and staff of color to share their experiences and provide advice as to how to best navigate graduate school as students of color.
- Foster strong networks with SPH mentors (formal and informal) by making consistent and productive use of the Connecting Talent program.
