Hello everyone! I wanted to make you aware that Dr. Nancy "Rusty" Barcelo will grace us with a very special visit and diversity lecture this Wednesday, March 1, 2012. The lecture begins at 5 PM and is being hosted by the Multicultural Center of UCSB and the talk is called, “Reflecting on Diversity as a Tool for Institutional Transformation”. Dr. Nancy “Rusty” Barcelo is the President of Northern New Mexico College and one of the nation’s most respected authorities on diversity and equity in higher education.
As the diversity peer for graduate division, I am definitely interested in hearing the words of wisdom from Dr. Barcelo. Dr. Barcelo's lecture is even more poignant as many universities across the US move towards examining and redefining their educational standards, accessibility and retention efforts in recruiting and maintaining diverse student populations. This is definitely a lecture you should attend if you will or are working with diverse student populations. For more information, please follow the link below. I hope to see you there.
