Kai Wright has over 5 years of administrative experience, all of which have been in culturally diverse settings, and part of which have been in similarly funded grant projects. One such project was the Genesee County Health Literacy Project, where disenfranchised community members were provided with health education and skills to improve their health and overall quality of life. Another project was the Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening project which educated older African American males about the benefits of screening for CRC. Both of these projects were conducted at the University of Michigan-Flint in collaboration with local community partners.
