MU Libraries’ Diversity Action Committee and the MU Library Staff Association (MULSA) invite you to participate in the Libraries’ Annual Diversity Event on Thursday, July 17th, 2:00-3:30 p.m. Along with celebrating diversity, the event will also provide an occasion for the staff of MU Libraries to welcome and meet the members of Enrollment Management who are temporarily located in Ellis Library due to the Renew Mizzou project. Refreshments will feature ethnic and personally meaningful foods from the employees of MU Libraries and Enrollment Management. Here are the details in a Q&A format:
When/where will it be held?
Thursday, July 17 in the 201 Ellis Library. The event will run from 2:00-3:30 p.m.
Who is providing the food?
You! If you are willing to do so, of course.
What type of food should I bring?
Anything that represents any part of your heritage. Or a dish/beverage that has a special meaning to you. (Or that you just want to bring…)
Can I attend the event even if I don’t bring food to share?
YES! This is open to all MU Libraries and Enrollment Management employees, including students.
How much food should I bring?
That is up to you.
Should I let DAC know if I’m bringing food?
Yes, please contact Sheryl Cullina (cullinas@missouri.edu) with the name or type of dish and the estimated number of people it will serve.
Where will I warm up or prepare my dish?
In the Ellis Library Staff Lounge. There are plenty of outlets for slow cookers and a couple of microwave ovens.
Do I need to do anything after I drop off my dish?
Yes. We ask that you take responsibility for setting up the dish prior to the event.
Would it be okay for me to talk about my dish as people pass through the food line?
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it!
