Diversity dialogue set for Oct. 5

The university is sponsoring a community dialogue on diversity Thursday, Oct. 7, as part of its effort to contribute to President Clinton’s Initiative on Race.

The Campus-Community Dialogue features a panel roundtable and general discussion to be moderated by Linda Greene, associate vice chancellor and professor of law. The dialogue will run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Pyle Center, 702 Langdon St.

Panelists and audience members will be asked to comment on the current climate and context of race-related issues; important projects they are planning to address diversity; what issues and concerns are not being addressed; and how the higher-education community can work better with the larger community to address these issues.

The community dialogue is one of several events planned this week as part of the university’s Campus Dialogues for One America. For information, contact LaMarr Billups, special assistant to the chancellor for community relations, 263-5510.
