Striving to Close the Gap Event

The University of Minnesota School of Public Health and the African American Leadership Forum are jointly sponsoring an event Strive and "discussing the possibility and to consider launching a similar effort to connect the dots across our metropolitan area's diverse efforts to raise student achievement overall and to close gaps between student groups."
