Olmos, Najera Join Los Angeles University Leaders for Panel on Diversity in Higher Education
February 3, 2016
Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) will kick-off a series of events to celebrate its 50th anniversary with celebrities Edward James Olmos, Rick Najera, and a panel of Los Angeles University leaders for a timely discussion on the absence of Latinos and African Americans in higher education. Events throughout the year will honor when CDU was founded 50 years ago, on August 3, 1966 following the Watts revolt, to address the inadequate access to education and healthcare in the community of Watts and greater South Los Angeles.
