Diversity and the Diversity Education Task Force will present

Diversity."

have about themselves and others, how to heal the emotional
wounds resulting from mistreatment and how to reclaim the power
to challenge all forms of discrimination.
     According to Judith Gibson, affirmative action, "We invite
all members of the University community to attend one of the
sessions and join us for an enjoyable and empowering day."

a.m.-noon, Thursday, Feb. 13, in Room 219; 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m.,
