Our CVP will explore the representation of minorities in elite academic settings, such as in this academy and elite colleges, its roots in history, the impact of the actions currently being taken, and how we can address it moving forward. We will use statistics and other evidence to discover why the representation in those settings is as it is now. The information distributed will be prepared by the CVP facilitators, and the CVP members will not have to prepare for discussions. Aside from talking about and discovering these facts, we plan to take action on them. Beyond our discussions, we hope to create a publication that will be distributed among the members of the school featuring discoveries and opinions from the students, including advice columns and general feedback students have on the topic of representation in elite academics. Through this publication, we plan to inspire and empower students who are underrepresented in these environments and allow other people to voice their struggles and thoughts on the topic. The members of our CVP will be able to choose their level of involvement in the publication while staying engaged in the conversations that take place and exploring the matters at hand. We hope that this CVP will not only spread awareness but shine light on the role of every individual in making change.
