Here is some info on Race Exhibit

Faculty, staff and students of Mayo Clinic and visitors to Rochester have had a special opportunity to view an extraordinary exhibit entitled RACE: Are We so Different? at the Rochester Public Library.

 

The American Anthropological Association teamed with the Minnesota Science Museum in 2006 to create the original exhibit. Mayo Clinic joined with the Rochester Public Library so that the exhibit could be brought to the Rochester community this summer. Dawn Littleton (DL), Head of Public Services at Mayo Clinic Libraries, who assisted with the exhibit and two library employees who attended the exhibit offered these comments.

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
