EDITORIAL: Columbus State University and One Columbus present the
inaugural regional Diversity conference: The challenge of diversity in
Community Development. Race and ethnic origin, social class, religion, gender
and sexuality and immigration issues are all real issues affecting the Columbus
region.
The people as the foundation of our region confirm that
valuing diversity is integral to our success. The joint Columbus State
University One Columbus Regional Conference on Diversity is an initiative
bringing together each and every segment of the Columbus community in an
informative and thought provoking forum.
The event will demonstrate where we stand statistically
within these issues and examine the challenges and confront our perspectives.
With diversity training expert Dr. Thee Smith, we will
work together to promote a positive standpoint from which to diminish barriers
in Columbus and the regional area and promote development in our community.
The forum begins March 22 at 7:00 pm and continues on
March 23, 9: am-2:00 pm.
The forum will be held at the Cunningham Center on the
campus at CSU and the public is invited. There is a $10 registration fee and
that includes lunch on the 23rd.
Please join us for this important forum.
