Interestingly, in my Occupational Therapy program, which was very traditionally female (1 of 200 students in the 4 cohorts I knew was male) and very traditionally white (no African Americans in those 4 cohorts) had an African American male professor (1 of 5 professors for the program). He had been an OTR in the Army and was retired..he was a Colonel.
Hopefully the tide will change and there will be more and more. I do think it's important to have role models/mentors that a student identifies with.
