University of Montana: Day of Dialogue, all day event on Thursday
Dear Reader:
Today, students, staff and faculty across the University of Montana campus here in Missoula will participate in a Day of Dialogue.
Here's the schedule of events for Thursday, most of which take place in the University Center.
Organizers describe the event as "a campus-wide symposium focused on the topics of race, gender, ethnicity, ability/disability, religion, sexual orientation, employment hierarchy and academic discipline. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members will deliver presentations, performances, workshops, and more throughout the day."
"The University of Montana respects, welcomes, encourages, and celebrates the differences among us. In recognition of this commitment, we value all members of the campus community, not in spite of, but because of their differences. The resultant value ambiance influences the way our students perceive the world. These experiences enrich us with a greater understanding of the human condition and the challenges all people must confront in a rapidly changing, increasingly globalized, and ever more interdependent world society," said George M. Dennison, UM president.
For more information about the Day of Dialogue call 243-5622 or email dayofdialogue@mso.umt.edu.
I've looked at the schedule and there are a lot of great presentations scheduled. I'd encourage everyone, to stop by, listen, learn and contribute to the dialogue.
Thanks.
