About the 2014 SCOR Symposium
This year Students of Color of Rackham (SCOR) will hold a symposium on diversity and social justice at the University of Michigan. What do we mean when we say diversity? How can Michigan recruit and retain a diverse student body? How can Michigan be a safe and welcoming space for a diverse community?
The event will be comprised of four parts: (1) a keynote; (2) multiple breakout sessions/trainings with student organizations and speakers; (3) a diversity panel with Q&A; and (4) a SCOR town hall.
Workshops on diversity and social justice will be presented throughout the day to continue conversations about the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, immigration status, age, ability and religious affiliation. We seek to highlight the importance of this intersectionality as we continue to work towards a more inclusive university. Join us as we work to develop a concrete diversity plan based on work by student groups at this University to submit to the incoming President, Dr. Mark Schlissel.
