- Abstract
- Dawn M. Porter, MD (AB Human Biology, 1987) speaks about her involvement with Stanford’s black community and the support it offered her during her undergraduate years. She speaks about the importance of the Black Recruitment and Orientation Committee (BROC) and mentions her involvement in the Black Student Union, Stanford Gospel Choir, Stanford Pre-med Association, and Alpha Kappa Alpha. Porter praises the strength of the black community, providing an example of their protest of a lecture by William Shockley. She urges Stanford to consider diversity within the black community when making admissions decisions and offers advice on promoting mental well-being among college students, including attention to the impact of social media and the availability of black counselors. Today, Porter works as a child psychiatrist with her own private practice.
