Conway has hosted workshop training sessions which address many of these diversity issues for both groups. Conway has run programs on cultural awareness since coming to the University in August 1993. He said the workshops' goal is not to say what is right or wrong, but rather to open discussion and peoples' minds. Different ideas and beliefs are bounced back and forth before the group creates a communal decision. He said that he focuses on a general progression towards greater understanding during his presentation.
Integration is a great place to be.
Honor Committee Chairman Jim Tybur said his group has benefitted greatly from Conway's presentation. The Committee, Tybur said, will be better able to represent the diverse student body with the lessons learned from the program. Conway conducted a similar program with Commerce School teaching assistants to help give them greater cultural awareness in teaching classes. He worked with Commerce School Prof. Richard A. Scott to develop the program which ran in August. Scott emphasized multiculturalism's beneficial role in teaching.
