UMaine to celebrate Diversity Week with several events
The University of Maine will celebrate Diversity Week with a series of events March 26–30.
Highlights of Diversity Week include a public talk by politician Emily Cain on women who will run in 2018, panel discussions on feminism and the new immigrant experience, a lunch-and-learn on the misrepresentation of multicultural characters in film, diversity and inclusion training, an interactive immersion program called Tunnel of Oppression, and dinner and multifaith dialogue at the Wilson Center.
Diversity Week at UMaine was founded in 2014 to raise awareness about diversity and cultures, and to recognize the contributions of women, people of color, persons with disabilities, and the LGBTQ population. During the week, UMaine celebrates the differences that contribute to the campus community.
A complete schedule is on the UMaine Office of Multicultural Student Life’s website and Facebook page. For more information, contact David Patrick at david.g.patrick@maine.edu, 949.4397.
