“Dialogues on Race,” the month-long series of campus-wide
discussions aimed at fostering diversity, continues with a “Speakout” on Monday,
April 20, at noon in front of Reamer Campus Center.
Minority students will first discuss a stereotype that they feel has
been assigned to them, and then “speakout” about who they really are, said Prof.
Linda Patrik, chair of the organizing committee.
Coordinated by MAG, Student Forum and Peer Facilitators,
“Dialogues” continues through the month. Student groups and athletic teams have
been holding sessions.
