Tonya Coats
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Tonya Coats (AB Anthropology, 1989) speaks about her life as a black student on Stanford’s campus. She discusses a variety of topics including the importance of her BROC (Black Recruitment and Orientation Committee) mentor, the stereotypical assumptions other students sometimes made about her, and the role she felt she was forced to play as one of Stanford’s “diverse” students. She talks about finding her path to the study of medical anthropology and her disappointment in having to give up the spot she had earned on the club tennis team in order to complete the challenging pre-med curriculum.
