Just Community is a campus-wide initiative to promote cohesiveness, appreciation for diversity and a sense of pride among students, faculty and university employees. Its goal is to make UC a more caring environment by incorporating certain principles into daily campus activity, such as celebrating the uniqueness of each individual, practicing civility, embracing freedom and openness, seeking integrity, promoting justice and accepting responsibility.
Our goal is to raise awareness of the impact that one person can make on the community and the lives of others by the choices that we make, said Steve Manuel, assistant dean in the UC College of Medicine. Its important that our students adopt positive health patterns early, so they can succeed in their careers and at home. Anthony Muñoz is the perfect person to exemplify that healthy pattern and attitude.
