Diversity & Cultural Awareness
Wednesday 6:00 PM - 8:50 PM
Community is a complex, multilevel set of peoples, organizations,
and values, interwoven and bound by relationships. Any single
aspect of community affects the whole. Some may argue that the
comfort of distance between people in the community is
diminishing rapidly and causing a clash of lifestyles. Others would
say that the community is coming together to redefine and improve
itself. What are the levels and spheres that make up a diverse
community? What role does awareness of diversity and culture play
in the life of the community? This course is designed to generate
responses to these questions. Professionals, activists, families, and
private citizens who are part of this community have been invited to
participate in a series of colloquia to share their knowledge,
experience, and opinions with the class and community members.
