1 Minority Student Caucus Constitution Minority Student Caucus Purpose The Minority Student Caucus (MSC) provides support services as defined by and for minority students, faculty, staff, and employees associated with the Gillings School of Global Public Health (SPH). The primary aim of the organization is to act as the, wherein, ideas, needs, and interests regarding the enhancement of the total academic, social, and health-related experiences of the membership can be channeled, deliberated, and acted upon collectively. The organization shall facilitate the increase in representation of minority and international students and faculty within the SPH. Mission The MSC is a student-run organization in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. The MSC mission is to collectively support, represent, encourage, and empower minority students, both domestic and international, in the SPH at the institutional, departmental, and community levels. In this capacity, we strive to promote and foster a relationship between our students and the faculty/staff of the SPH and administrative units at Carolina. The MSC is an organization open to all students, and is dedicated to fostering a safe environment for healthy and productive dialogue surrounding issues experienced within our diverse student population and their implications for public health. Vision The MSC seeks to represent, advocate, and promote an inspiring, diverse, and safe environment for students from underrepresented populations including ethnic and religious minorities, international students, and LGBTQ students at the SPH. We work with the administration at the school to enrich student life and empower the students to become future public health leaders. History The MSC was established in 1971 as the Black Student Caucus, and later renamed in 1976 as the Minority Student Caucus to include all students of color. In the past 41 years of its existence, the MSC has changed its shape and grown to include many diverse student populations, yet, the essence of the organization still stands on the principles on which it was originally founded: advocating and promoting social justice on the UNC SPH campus as well as through collaborative efforts to highlight the issues and disparities in minority health. The UNC Minority Health Conference (MHC) is the largest and longest-running student-led health conference in the country, supported by the SPH. The 1
2 Minority Student Caucus Constitution conference regularly attracts over 500 students, faculty, researchers, public health and human services professionals, and community leaders from North Carolina and surrounding states. The MSC launched the conference in 1977 to highlight health issues of concern for people of color and to attract students interested in minority health to the school. The conference provides a forum for scholarly exchange of ideas related to understanding and addressing continuing health disparities in minority populations. Caucus Membership Caucus membership is available to all current students enrolled in the SPH or other corresponding UNC schools. Membership is not dependent upon race, age, gender, religion, nationality, political affiliations, and/or sexual orientation.
