Diversity Committee Joint Ventures
Recently the chair of the Diversity Committee here on the Fargo and Moorhead campuses has asked to team up with the library to host and co-present a Parent's Day 7/28 including discussion of the importance of reading to young children and a storytime. We are also planning a quarterly Book Club with the first being in the Fall Quarter focusing on Native American Literature-possibly using the Beet Queen by Louise Erdrich (the story itself highlights this region). Has anyone else teamed up with a committee for events?

Our Fort Myers Diversity Committee plans to hold a Seminole Indian Cultural Awareness event in September or October. We want to pay particular attention to Native American access to higher education, and have a guest speaker from the Seminole tribe. It is all in the planning stages at the moment!
Sounds like a great event, keep me posted.
Shoot for October... September is Civics Awareness Month/National Constitution Day.
Yes, thanks for the reminder, Emily. I will alert my Diversity Committee colleagues that October would be better.
Native American Heritage Month is in November, if that helps.
