The NSU Diversity Summit is an annual event that is designed to raise participant’s awareness of the many perspectives that make up our world; provide an opportunity to examine issues impacting our diverse community; and supply applicable tools and strategies to participants on how to take action in order to improve our world. Undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty, department chairs, deans, alumni, and interested members of the extended higher education community may all benefit.
This year the 2008 NSU Diversity Summit focus is ‘diversity and organizations’.
The workshops will cover these areas:
- What is diversity and why does it matter?
- How do you define yourself in our multicultural world?
- What are the individual and organizational barriers to embracing and celebrating diversity?
- What happens when organizations do not embrace and celebrate diversity?
- How do we overcome barriers and implement lasting solutions?
