The summit is funded through the W.K. Kellogg Leadership for Institutional Change Initiative. Among the most critical issues facing us is developing a coherent institutional approach to leading an institution where diversity is an explicit value in the mission. The programs are free and open to the public, but registration is required. Information is also available on the World Wide Web .
Accommodations are available for people with disabilities.
The first day of the summit will consist of nine concurrent daylong workshops. The second day will include morning and afternoon sessions, as well as cultural arts and meals. Linton will devote part of her session to a discussion of specific ways to reshape the presentation of disability and disabled people in various media, cultural products and in the academic realm, said Tracy Bentley-Townlin, OSU director of Disability Services. Speaking on religious issues will be Rabbi Larry J. Halpern, who was ordained in 1967 and has served as outreach and marketing director of the Jewish Federation of Portland. He has also recently served as area director of the American Jewish Committee.
