“Dialogues on Race” – a series of discussions aimed at
fostering diversity at Union – runs this month with a series of discussions with
students, faculty and staff.
Athletic teams already have been holding sessions, said Trish Williams,
associate dean of students, who is coordinating with Prof. Linda Patrik, chair of the
Multicultural Advisory Group (MAG). A kickoff town meeting is planned for Student Forum on
Tuesday, April 7, Williams said.
MAG, Student Forum and Peer Facilitators, are soliciting personal
accounts of racial experiences on campus from all members of the campus community. Written
narratives, which may be submitted anonymously, will be read aloud at Student Forum's
meeting on Tuesday.
