Participating in the "NUBAA 5K Race for Diversity” is a great way for those who care about diversity to bring awareness to the issue. The race symbolically gives a voice to the low percentage of African Americans at NU. The race itself is also a chance to showcase the spirit and pride of NUBAA, Northwestern University and the cities of Evanston and Chicago.
