Kayla Woodson

Student Representative

"To me, it’s all about leaving the university better than how I found it for the people who come after me. I’ve been very fortunate in my time here, but I know there have been students who don’t necessarily feel the same way. I think the biggest takeaway is that when I leave, when those students leave, I hope students who come here don’t have to have those negative experiences and don’t have to feel like they’re 'others.'"

Kayla Woodson recently earned second place in the Center for Health Equity Transformation's (CHET) undergraduate essay competition. Her essay focused on the impact of medical racism on Black women’s health and its relationship to historic injustices.
