  4. GOod to see someone of color in the field. Have any of you ever noticed that our entire cohort is caucasian? I find that very odd since I live in a very multicultural city. Gwinnett UGA is so closed to ATL. I wonder if the Georgia State Program is more diverse- or is this indicative of the SLMS field. Also - never heard of Atlanta University - and I live in the ATL.
