Summaries

Summary Sentence: The symposium will include strategic discussions on how to build a diverse and inclusive community at Georgia Tech.

Full Summary: Mark your calendar to attend Georgia Tech’s 2014 Diversity Symposium sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Institute Diversity.  Join us in discussions about strategies to align our efforts to build a diverse and inclusive community with Georgia Tech’s Strategic plan and its goals for Inclusive Excellence

On Friday, September 5, 2014 the Office of Institute Diversity will host the Sixth Annual Diversity Symposium.

This year’s program will include a presentation and discussion on the results of the GT Climate Assessment Survey, a town hall style discussion called the  “Voices of Georgia Tech” focused on diversity, and inclusion at GT and will conclude with the Diversity Symposium Awards Luncheon which features Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, President of Morehouse College of Medicine, as the keynote speaker.

The “Voices of Georgia Tech” is a new addition to the Diversity Symposium and is designed for us to learn about the individual experiences of the members of our campus community and to better understand our campus climate and culture.  An important goal of the forum is to provide a safe setting for faculty, staff, and students to express their views and opinions about our strengths and our challenges as we strive to make GT a model community for diversity and inclusion.

There’s something for everyone, so please visit www.diversitysymposium.gatech.edu  to get a detailed agenda of the day’s events and forward this information to co-workers or others you think may be interested in joining this important community event.
