Anti-Racism Student Fellowship

Founded in 2021 through the power of student advocacy, faculty and staff mentorship, and leadership commitment, the Anti-Racism Student Fellowship empowers students to take an active role in driving anti-racism projects across all areas of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS).
