   Diversity Forum

    for High School Students

Annual Cultural Diversity Forum

REGISTRATION for the Forum is CLOSED.

Our first Annual Spring Cultural Diversity Forum is designed to promote diversity among CSU students and faculty. Although diversity exists in many forms, the first forum will focus on the broad concept of diversity and how to promote positive relationships in the university setting and beyond. The forum will open in Spivey Hall at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 1, 2008 with our keynote speaker, Dr. Dee Baldwin from Georgia State University. At 5:00 p.m. the group will break and move to the Harry S. Down’s Center for Continuing Education Atrium for light food and small group discussions with CSU faculty facilitators about diversity and how its concepts can be applied in all interpersonal relationships and settings. Participants will complete a program evaluation form at the conclusion of the program.
