Registration
<http://www.alaoweb.org/events?eventId=867678&EventViewMode=EventDetails>
is open for the Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) Diversity
Committee's Spring Workshop on Friday, April 25, 2014!

 

Simone G. Polk Presents: Eracism

 

This "Eracism" diversity workshop is designed to enhance the multicultural
competency of professionals through education, the facilitation of "high
impact" participative activities, thought-provoking discussion, reflection
and taking action in the workplace environment.

 

Facilitation will include several interactive, participative discussion
opportunities about diversity, inclusion, exclusion, racism, bigotry, and
discrimination with specific emphasis on enhancing understanding, awareness,
recognition and celebration of students, faculty, staff and visitors from
diverse backgrounds, lifestyles and divergent points of view.

 

At the completion of this facilitation, participants will:

.     Recognize how they place self-imposed limits on the way they think;

.     Discover that, in many ways, people from different cultures and
backgrounds hold similar values and beliefs;

.     Become more aware of their cultural viewpoints and the stereotypes
they may have inadvertently learned over time; and

.     Be aware of and respectful of the differences and similarities in
students, staff, faculty and visitors in the workplace.

 

The goal of this diversity workshop is to get participants thinking about
the "big picture" as it relates to being a part of a rich, dynamic, yet
complex and diverse workplace community.

 

Simone G. Polk, J.D., MPA, BA is the Assistant Vice President for Student
