Minorities are the emerging majority in Houston's population.
Both now and in the future, their expectations and achievements will have major implications for education, social support systems, economic developments, politics, and health care. Recognizing the importance of these changes, the UT-Houston Office of Education Access and Equity is sponsoring a presentation by Rice University sociology Professor Stephen L. Klineberg, Ph.D., who has been surveying the Houston community for more than 15 years. Klineberg will discuss demographic changes, examine challenges to the status quo, and explore the opportunities for Houston to position itself as a major player in the 21st century. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, noon-1 p.m., at the School of Public Health Auditorium. A light lunch will be provided for the first 76 attendees.
