Faculty members and students show their awards at a Kenneth A. Forde Diversity Alliance Reception.

The Kenneth A. Forde Diversity Alliance (KAFDA) was established in 2014 to bring together minority medical students, resident physicians, fellows, graduate students, faculty, research scientists and allies across the Columbia University Irving Medical Center. With the aim of empowering the diverse community at CUIMC, KAFDA seeks to develop networking opportunities, promote diversity awareness, foster mentoring relationships, provide community service and leadership development opportunities.
