Andrea Morgan's Black Like Me 360 Project Launches
Funded in 2022 by a Racial Equity & Inclusion Grant, Behavioral & Systems Neuroscience student Andrea Morgan’s project Black Like Me 360: A Virtual Experience aims to show what it's like to be Black in America. The project features “360 degree videos with the tables at OHSU turned completely—instead of a primarily white institution, showing OHSU as though it’s a primarily Black institution, and white people (a minority in these videos) deal with things like racism and microaggressions.”

Research Town Hall, March 7th, 2022
Andrea Morgan, BSN graduate student, presented “I am OHSU: How owning our places at OHSU as individuals can make us better together" at a Research Town Hall on Monday, March 7th. You can find a recording link by visiting the COVID-19 Research O2 page and scrolling down the right side of the page.
