ADEA associate 
director Jeanne 
Sinkford gives 
annual address

While other Martin Luther 

King Jr. memorial lectures on 
campus charged students to ponder 
#WhoWillBeNext in sparking social 
activism, the Joint Health Schools 
MLK 
Symposium 
Committee 

lecture Monday asked who would 
be next specifically in increasing 
diversity in health care systems. 
Jeanne 
C. 
Sinkford, 
associate 

executive director of the American 
Dental Education Association and 
director of the Association’s Center 
for Equity and Diversity, delivered 
the annual health sciences lecture 
at Dow Auditorium in the Towsley 
Center.

Sinkford 
is 
nationally 
and 

internationally renowned as a dental 
educator, administrator, researcher 
and clinician, and served as the 
first woman dean of a dental school 
at Howard University College of 
Dentistry from 1975 to 1991.

She opened her lecture by 

stressing 
the 
importance 
of 

Martin Luther King Jr.’s role 
toward the pursuit of unity and 
peace throughout the nation. She 
highlighted his message of gaining 
equity, social justice and peace for 
all, including women and students, 
through non-violent actions in 
particular. 

“The strife of the ‘60s is 

remembered as racial, but it was 
much more than that because it 
galvanized the nation because of 
the growth in equity we had at that 
time to civil rights, to poverty, to 
education, to jobs and to gender,” 
Sinkford said.

In addition, Sinkford discussed 

a change in today’s struggle for 
civil rights. She said she believes 
that while the church used to be 
the control center for American 

civil rights activism — teaching 
the traditional values of hierarchal 
leadership and respectable politics, 
as well as principles of reconciliation 
and nonviolence — students and 
activists today work without the 
church’s 
leadership 
and 
reject 

conservative values.

She also touched on her beliefs 

that students today have managed 
to describe the experience of feeling 
isolated on campus ude to race and 
used that to launch many successful 
events, including town hall meetings 
and teach-ins across the country.

Sinkford said she believes that 

if King were alive today, he would 
not only applaud these students in 
their efforts to better the learning 
environment on campus, but would 
continue to serve as the inspiration 
toward non-violence.

“He would continue to link 

justice 
with 
both 
equity 
and 

equality, and he would advocate for 
the elimination of disparities in the 
health system,” Sinkford said.

Speaking to healthcare, she 

noted the importance of King’s 
recognition that the most inhuman 
inequalities are those that exist in 
our health care systems, and praised 
President Barack Obama’s work 
toward better incorporating equity 
into health care decisions today.

She also spoke of the positive 

attributes that have been made to 
health services, specifically citing 
those made in dental health, and 
several that she helped to create. 
Her efforts include participating 
in changing the academic policies 
for the American Dental Education 
Association and helping create 
the 2004 Sullivan Commission 
on Diversity in the Healthcare 
Workforce, an effort that aimed 
to increase diversity in America’s 
health 
professions 
education 

training programs.

Sinkford ended her speech by 

stating that she believed academic 
institutions will continue to invest 
in goals that lead toward better 
access to health care.

“I really think our academic 

institutions will lead across the 
health spectrum,” she said. “They’ll 
move toward more efficient patient 
care, greater use of onsite facilities,

personal and social 

disagreement

Daily Staff Reporter

Participants in the “Conflict 

Monologues,” an annual Martin 
Luther King Jr. Day event organized 
by the Student Conflict Resolution 
Advisory Board, addressed ways to 
handle various levels of conflict — 
from roommate problems to issues 
of identity — in their lives Monday.

About 15 students sat in a 

circle at the Michigan Union for 
the event to reflect on the idea 
of conflict and how to instigate 
resolution 
and 
restoration. 

Students 
and 
facilitators 

discussed whether conflict and 
confrontation 
are 
mutually 

exclusive, how identities are 
reflected in the ways different 
individuals handle conflict and 
whether all conflicts are solvable.

Engineering sophomore Suzy 

Haupt, who participated in the 
dialogue, said King’s experience 
with conflict — and his choice to 
confront it with nonviolence and 
love — was unique,

“I think that this is a really 

good event to have during MLK 

symposium,” Haupt said. “While 
it’s not the traditional racism talk 
during MLK day, I think it’s a really 
important issue that needs to be 
discussed.”

Though the open forum attracted 

a diverse group of students, many 
attendees were resident advisers 
who were interested in learning 
more about this particular subject. 
Haupt, an RA, said she sometimes 
struggles handling conflict among 
the residents in her hall.

“I was really looking forward to 

this event to help me broaden my 
understanding of different ways to 
confront them and how different 
people think about conflicts, so I’ll 
better be able to help my residents 
and manage my hall,” Haupt said.

Though the word “conflict” 

typically 
carries 
a 
negative 

connotation, the group emphasized 
how dispute plays a vital role in 
progress. LSA sophomore Austin 
Fregene argued that a community 
cannot grow without discussing 
contradictory opinions.

“Conflict doesn’t have to be 

negative,” Fregene said. “It can be 
constructive, and it doesn’t have 
to happen right away; it can take 
time. Conflict is the cornerstone 
of growth and genesis, of positive 
things.”

Fregene also said he appreciates 

events such as this one, where 
ideas are respectfully challenged, 
because he believes everyone gains 

from honest discussion.

“Beliefs 
are 
meant 
to 
be 

challenged,” Fregene said. “Ideas 
are meant to be talked about and 
things are meant to be discussed. 
I don’t feel that we get the most 
out of our lives if we don’t have 
moments where our beliefs and 
our ideas are challenged or thought 
about because that’s how you know 
that they’re strong — they’ve been 
tested.”

Echoing Fregene’s sentiment, 

LSA junior Lauren Shepard, a 
member of the SCR Advisory Board, 
said the annual event served to 
facilitate dialogue and strengthen 
interpersonal relationships in an 
open, safe space.

“Without discussion, nothing is 

going to happen,” Shepard said.

Education junior Samantha Suh 

said she respected the differences 
among the group members during 
the dialogue. She added that she 
thought participating in candid 
conversations 
and 
empathizing 

with different perspectives gives 
participants a level of respect 
necessary in all situations of 
conflict.

As an RA at East Quad, Suh said 

she hopes to educate her residents 
on the diverse ways to approach and 
understand conflict.

“I think in certain situations, 

some people just have no idea how 
another person can act like that or 
say something like that,” Suh said.

LSA SOPHOMORE JARED HEDDINGER

LSA sophomore Jared 
Heddinger talks about his 
experiences making the 
most of cooking resources on 
campus.

Can you tell me about your 
cooking adventure?

It was an adventure with 
college apartment cooking. 
My friends called me over 
one night and were like “Hey, 
do you know anything about 
cooking ribs?” So I walked 
over to their apartment — 
which we affectionately call 
the “trap house”— and they 
have a slab of frozen ribs just 
sitting on their table. My 
first instinct was to ask them 
where they got them, and 
apparently they got them 
from a friend who had had 

them in their apartment for 
a couple months just in the 
freezer. They were having 
this internal conflict to 
figure out if they wanted to 
make these ribs that could 
or could not be edible. So 
we spent over twenty-five 
minutes googling whether 
or not it was safe to eat these 
ribs. We eventually did eat 
them. Then my friend asked 
me if I wanted to make 
some banana bread because 
they had a couple overripe 
bananas just sitting out. 
So I was like “Sure, do you 
have flour and eggs and 
stuff?” and they had none of 
that. So basically, the night 
culminated with us eating 
ribs that were like fours 
months old, some banana 
bread that was made with 

protein powder, peanut 
butter, oats, and moldy 
bananas, and chips and 
salsa.

What do you think your 
experience says about the 
college lifestyle?

I think it definitely says a 
lot about the adaptability of 
college students and how we 
make do with what we have.

Do you see yourself 
having this sort of 
adventure in the future?

Yeah, I think it’s always fun 
to stay on your toes and try 
and make do with what you 
have.
