Art & Photography Exhibit A celebration of current and future Black physicians

A special photography exhibit for Black History Month was curated by Hazel Ezeribe, MS4 and Mitchell Prins, MS4 in February 2021. The gallery featured 20 students and two LLU residents, with each individual wearing their own unique style. Each individual portrayed shared a small part of their story in a personalized statement or in a quote that resonated with them.
