Multicultural Opportunity

Happy Wednesday! Here is an opportunity shared by Roshan:

The Center for Multicultural Excellence here on campus offers a program every year called Voices of Discovery. It is an intergroup dialogue program that brings together (mostly undergraduate) people from diverse ethnic, religious, and social backgrounds to engage in open, honest discussions of issues and challenges of diversity. It will be a great opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the perspectives of those from different backgrounds, and if you have never participated in such an activity, I highly recommend it as it can do wonders for your personal and social development -- think of it as training in the personal and practical aspects of Intercultural Communication. The program involves 5 weekly meetings that are 2 hours of discussion (there are a few different sessions/time slots, all in the evenings) and activities hosted by a pair of facilitators from the CME, of which I am one. Pizza is provided for all of the meetings. Please visit the website (http://www.du.edu/cme/voices.html) or contact me if you have any other questions. Hope to see some IICers there!

Check it out! Also don't forget to ask Julie about conversation partners.
