The UNMC Employee Diversity Network and UNMC Human Resources will co-sponsor the 2010 Diversity Lectures and Cultural Arts Series, which begins with two events this month in celebration of February as Black History Month.
The series, which will run from February to June, will feature scholarly lectures and presentations that address contemporary issues of diversity and cultural performances that highlight the diverse cultures present in our community.
The goal of the series is to encourage discussions and serve as a tool to inform faculty, staff and students about different perspectives, cultures and social issues.
All programs are free of charge and free lunch is provided to the first 40 attendees.
The February events are as scheduled:
- Wednesday, Feb. 17 — Joseph White, Ph.D., will present “Surviving and Thriving: Major Psychological Strengths in the African American Way of Being” at noon in the Durham Research Center Auditorium; and
- Thursday, Feb. 25 — Love’s Jazz and Arts Center will present a spoken word performance at noon in the Eppley Science Hall Amphitheater.
