Diversity at Penn State

Sean Minnick, a Penn State senior majoring in energy business finance, shows Katherine Pearson, a Penn State graduate student studying sociology, how to use The Human Race machine in the HUB Robeson Center Monday Jan. 16, 2012. This machine takes a photograph of the person and then shows how they would look as a different race. The Human Race machine was a part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. day of Commemoration. Minnick said the Elbery College of Science put this together. The Human Race machine tried to challenge perceptions of race.
