You are invited to attend the Tues., Sept. 30 Diversity Working Group program from 12 - 1pm in the Nebraska Union (room TBA). Trina Creighton will present her documentary film entitled, "The Academic Achievement Gap: We Do Better When We Know Better." The film highlights a case study in Omaha, NE of the barriers to higher education faced by Black adolescent males. A discussion of how we can better support the retention of students of color will follow. The program is open to all members of the campus community, including students, staff, and faculty. Feel free to bring your lunch. Questions about the program or Diversity Working Group may be directed to Dr. Kelli K. Smith at ksmith4@unl.edu.
The ability to more fully understand the complexity and dynamics of issues and situations in a community context is important to be able to develop effective programs.
