P.U.L.L. Movement names ’23 scholarship recipients
We couldn’t be more excited about our second year to deliver the P.U.L.L. scholarship award.
One student from each of the local high schools in Gordon County are awarded $2,000 and four counseling sessions. Each applicant submitted a 500 word essay on the topic of race. This year’s topic addressed whether the use of race in medicine was beneficial or not.
As we seek to examine how the classification of humans based on phenotype is used in our society, thinking outside of the structured paradigms is necessary to invoke meaningful change. Although this is a new year, our motto remains the same: There are many colors, cultures, heritages, and nationalities, yet still one human race.
