The members of the Diversity Action Committee wish to offer our thanks to the following people for the successful outcome of the DAC’s Diversity Luncheon of June 10:
• Those who provided food. We’d like to collect recipes; send Leo the info when you get a second (agnewl@missouri.ed).
• Those who attended; the turnout was more than expected and a delight to see.
• All who helped with clean-up activities.
• Supervisors for approving release time for staff to both assist with and attend the event.
• MULSA for use of supplies, e.g., microwave, tablecloths, utensils.
• LTS for assistance with the music connection.
• Karen Eubanks for loan of the ‘diversity doll set.’
• Ivy Hui and Bill Phillips for taking pictures.
With the success of the event, DAC looks forward to sponsoring the Second Annual Diversity Luncheon in 2010.
On a related note, the world map activity has been moved to the staff lounge in Ellis. If you’ve not seen it, be sure to look for it the next time you visit the lounge. If you’ve not contributed your information, feel free to do so. Instructions are included with the map. What is the world map activity? It’s an opportunity for staff to identify their countries of heritage. The purpose is to recognize and celebrate the diversity among us.
This was a indeed a wonderful event — delicious food and delightful fellowship! Thanks to the Diversity Committee for all the efforts to put this together, and I applaud your endeavors to highlight the diversity among us! I look forward to next year’s luncheon!
