TOWN MEETING ON DIVERSITY RESCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2009. Faculty, as you plan for
your spring classes, I encourage you, where appropriate, to include ways that your students may incorporate and reflect on
the work of that day into their continuing coursework. As soon as the Diversity Council's plans for the day are firmed-up, I
will distribute a working copy of the schedule.
In the meantime, please know that we welcome input and suggestions.
