PNC Brownbag Series Looks at Diversity

WESTVILLE – Purdue University North Central continues its Brownbag Series, with PNC faculty, staff and community members leading programs that center on the topic of “diversity.”

The seminars will vary in style and subject, but all will share the intent of presenting topics and issues that can contribute to the development of tolerant, inclusive campus and community cultural practices. Some presenters will feature short film clips or interactive pieces that will stimulate conversation and discussion, others will present ideas for open dialogue and sharing of views and experiences.

The Brownbag Series is coordinated by Bob Mellin, continuing lecturer of English.

The seminars will be presented in the PNC Library-Student-Faculty Building Room 144 from noon to 1 p.m., unless noted otherwise. They are free and open to the public. Varying opinions are welcome.

March 25 – “Disability Awareness” with Jodi James, PNC disability services coordinator, will explore a variety of issues facing persons with disabilities.

April 29 – “American Genocide: The American Indian in the American Way ” with Beth Rudnick, PNC advisor. Rudnick, an advisor for 17 years, has taught courses in women's studies and American Indian studies.
