- Dr. Mark Henderson, Associate Dean of Admissions at University of California Davis will shed light on the approach UC Davis has taken since California voted to repeal affirmative action in 1996, and share insights drawn from the development of a custom measure of Socioeconomic Disadvantage that has contributed to UC Davis being among the most diverse medical schools in the United States.
