Student Forum and the Dean of Students Office are holding
an informational meeting for Study Circles for Diversity on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at
4:30 p.m. in Reamer Campus Center
Auditorium.

Study Circles, sponsored by facilitators from Schenectady
County Embraces Diversity (SCED), bring together various groups to explore issues
that affect the community as a whole.

About 50 individuals are needed for the program. Faculty,
staff, and students can express themselves in an informal setting, discussing
ways to promote diversity.

The Study Circles will meet once a week through the month
of February, and conclude by March 10. Members of the campus community may sign up for times at the informational session on Wednesday.

“Study Circles will allow for faculty and students to
improve their relationships, while at the same time creating an informal
environment for individuals to speak their mind on diversity,” said Angelo
Cross, president of Student Forum, and an organizer with Steve Leavitt, interim
dean of students. “It is a great program for everyone. Whether you are a
student, faculty or staff member, we encourage you to attend this
first Study Circles for Diversity meeting.”
