Background Information:
Born out of the ashes of the Watts Rebellion, Charles Drew Postgraduate School was founded in 1966 in response to the lack of adequate medical facilities in the area. The institution later became a University and changed its name in 1987 to reflect its expanded academic role and identity. Emphasizing service to the community, the University draws inspiration from the life of Dr. Charles Drew. |
