All parties have a steadfast commitment to diversity.
It is fitting that the forum occur now, at a time when the university is beginning to implement our Diversity Action Plan . The plan outlines challenging but realizable goals that we must achieve in order to nurture an environment that is welcoming to all. Confronting our Differences Together will present us with a powerful opportunity to confront and discuss our differences by merging popular culture with an academic environment. If you do not have a ticket to the event, I hope members of the campus community will be able to view the live broadcast on campus cable television Channel 37.
