• The Master of Biomedical Sciences (MBS) program delivers a one-year interdisciplinary curriculum for students interested in the healthcare professions and biomedical science. The current MBS class includes 42 matriculants who graduated from 31 institutions, including 20 located outside the southeast region. • One-third of this class is first-generation to higher education, a somewhat higher percentage self-identified as “disadvantaged”, and a somewhat smaller percentage self-identified as ethnic majority. • Our aim was to engage students in an exploration of Duke’s social history while leveraging the rich diversities within the program. • Objective: to create an engaging series of active, experiential educational activities that would bring Duke’s social history and its enduring legacy to the forefront of post baccalaureate education.
