The President and Provost invite all members of the Miami community to attend the diversity symposium on the Friday of fall break (Oct. 13). There is no departmental meeting or colloquium on that day to help accommodate this important event in our schedules. Ginger Wickline and Vaishali Raval will be involved as presenters, as well. From the sponsors:

The President, Provost, Office for Institutional Diversity, Center for Teaching Excellence, the Office of Global Initiatives and the College of Arts and Science invite all members of the Miami community to continue the discussion for the 2016-2017 Inclusion Series. This interactive one-day professional development program is designed to provide knowledge, develop skills and engender attitudes necessary to help create a more inclusive Miami. Aligned with Foundation Goal 2 of the Miami 2020 Plan, the Symposium is one step toward creating an even more culturally competent community where members move beyond boundaries to welcome, seek, and understand others from different backgrounds and perspectives.

Please see the website for more information. Note that registration closes this Friday (Oct. 6).
