W e want to help them get on the right track early in life because they can end up wasting a lot o f energy which no once can afford to d o ,” she said. The program came into existence student at the center. A ll agreed that there was a serious need for this type after a series o f meetings with D r. J.

B ritton explained the selec tion process. “ Last spring we sponsored a field trip to the H e a lth Science C en ter and we provided them with lectures, lunch, a tour, and they all had the opportunity to talk to faculty mem bers about th e ir possible career choice, said the native o f Gary, In d iana and a graduate o f Purdue University. Britton also noted that there are only 75 minorities out o f 1500 stu dents at the Health Science Center and stressed the need for more qual ified applicants to apply. “ The program can be used as a mechanism to step up m in o rity re cruitment,” she said.
