A University of Michigan graduate who just completed medical school requirements at Le Moyne College in New York, Davuluri’s 30-minute presentation will address her commitment to education, her personal platform, the importance of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) careers and Davuluri will also reaffirm her platform on “Celebrating Diversity Through Cultural Competency.” The presentation will be followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer session with the audience.
