Garnes has a Close to Home series where different faculty and staff members come and give presentations on topics related to what they teach. Next week Leslie James, professor of University studies, will speak. Another component of The Hump is Diversity and Crumpets, which is led by Johnson-Licon. This is a desert-themed program where the desert relates to a particular multicultural topic. Bogage leads the third program of The Hump, Take on Faith, which explores religious diversity.
Students can look at religious questions that are asked in different traditions.
A common topic in all the series is that of the effects of power and privilege. The Hump allows students to have fun, but also discuss heavy issues that are valid in real life. Plus it's not an effort to go because you're learning and talking and being challenged to think. According to Johnson-Licon, all leaders try to approach programming on three different levels. Some programs are strictly informative.
