60 Years of Desegregation
September 27, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
In 1958, George Starke became the first black student at UF. We are inviting a panel of alumni to discuss their experiences as minority students here. The panelists include: Mrs. Evelyn Mickle who was the first black graduate of the UF School of Nursing; Attorney Funmi Olorunnipa who was a student activist and also was enrolled here in the years immediately following the One Florida executive order; Ms. Joselin Padron-Rasines who was the first Latina president of student government in 2015; Dr. Mark Villegas who was instrumental in seeking an Asian American Studies certificate.
