Richele Jordan-Davis, ED.M Assistant Dean for Diversity Welcome from the Assistant Dean Ms. Jordan-Davis oversees all activities devoted to the recruitment and nurturing of underrepresented minority medical students and the fostering of diversity and multicultural understanding in medical education. "I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles, which he [or she] has overcome while trying to succeed." |

"I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about I-tried-to-do. I don't mind failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself If I didn't try." |
