Since I came to KUMC 15 months ago, I've placed diversity awareness, respect for each other, and equal opportunity as important goals for us. We are making progress, but far too slowly to create the work force needed for today's complex society. The student focused program is being developed by our Student Affairs staff in conjunction with the Student Governing Council. The International Studies office is coordinating activities to raise awareness of our intercultural opportunities. The Human Relations personnel are creating a training program for employees.
Cultural sensitivity is everyone's job and everyone's responsibility.
I hope you will make this one of your New Year's resolutions and report back to me your successes.
