Author’s Note and Letter to the Student Body Dear Reader, This first issue of the article contains first-hand accounts and perspectives from students and faculty in regard to the advancement and improvement of the status of diversity inclusion within the Pre-health community at Baylor University. The interviews conducted offer current and prospective students an opportunity to read what steps the faculty are taking to further advance heterogeneity within Baylor Pre-Health. To the readers who are of the current student body, it is imperative that you understand that those selected for an interview possess backgrounds that are unique. Thus their paths through pre-med and towards medicine will likely not be similar to that of your own. Rest assured their goals within medicine are still prominent, their stories are still relevant, and with that, their knowledge of Pre-Health is viable and worth the investment and understanding. Keeping an open mind as a preprofessional while looking to learn more about the intricacies of what the Baylor pre-health has to offer will allow you as a reader to be well versed in making more educated decisions based on your specific circumstances within your daily student life. Opportunities are present through every conversation, every email, and every chance that you as a student undertake to expand your mind and your capacity for acquiring wisdom and knowledge. Sincerely, Albert K. Sarpong
