Dear International Listserv
Members: While the activity described

a close match! Please consider joining the team to help develop this
opportunity! Becoming a Diverse
City……
……………through sharing our stories Diversity & Leadership Conference Saturday, February 14, 2009 9:00 am – 4:00 pm Reeve Memorial Union The Student Leadership & Involvement Center is
coordinating the 3rd annual diversity & leadership conference
for UW Oshkosh students. If you are interested in assisting with the planning & coordination
of this campus program with other campus faculty, staff & students, please
contact Sara Ann Suwalski (suwalsks@uwosh.edu
/ 424-3446). The conference is a day that provides students with the
opportunity to: ·
network with other UW Oshkosh students ·
participate in workshops in the areas of
diversity, multiculturalism and leadership ·
be exposed to something different from their own
experiences ·
challenge their thoughts, beliefs, and new ideas ·
share their stories and understand how
others’ stories open the door to learning What did students say about and learn at last year’s
conference? ·
Made me really think about who I am and what I
stand for and how that is reflected through what I do. ·
I want to fight the bias within my own
marginalized community! ·
Opened my eyes to what I can do to improve as a
leader. ·
Think critically about the topics you were
always taught not to! ·
This is not just a local change we need to
strive for but it's rather a global cause. ·
We must respect each other. ·
I have decided to be more active in making a
difference with diversity issues. ·
Hate is not a family value. ·
Words have power, regardless of context. ·
Leaders are for the greater good of others; not
for themselves. The conference offers a unique day of learning for our
students and each leaves with a new perspective or idea. I hope you will
consider sharing this involvement opportunity with colleagues and
students on campus. We look forward to another wonderful year! Thank you, Sara Ann Suwalski Leadership
