Oct 8, 2025 7:00 PM | Organization: Arts & Lectures Get your ticket here! Join us for an evening with Irvin Garcia Real and Alexis Aleman, two UCLA medical students who founded Foos in Medicine, a social media community with more than half a million followers and mission of inspiring people from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue their dreams. Garcia Real and Aleman have faced their share of obstacles on the path to medicine, from growing up in low-income, immigrant households to struggling with institutional barriers that underrepresented minorities often face in higher education. Through their signature humor and their advocacy work, these “foos” are committed to inspiring others and increasing representation in medicine, STEM and health care.   More Information Website @foosinmedicine Sponsor National Latino Research Center The National Latino Research Center (NLRC) is an applied social science research center with the mission of contributing to the knowledge and understanding of growing U.S. Latina/o populations through meaningful applied action research.
