Once
again the University of Rhode Island presents an exciting
program of activities to recognize and celebrate
the rich and diverse personal heritages present in our campus community. The
Third Annual Diversity Week,
October 3rd-8th 1999, will feature workshops, films and
videos, exhibitions, a poetry slam, and other celebrations
of multiculturalism. By
diversity we mean to be inclusive of cultural and ethnic identity, and of distinctions by
language, race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, class, rural or urban roots
or other groupings.
Below you'll find a tentative schedule of events. Please encourage
your friends and colleagues to participate in
this important event.Melvin Wade and Paul B. de Mesquita
