The Student Life and Leadership, in conjunction with the Arts and Cultural Events committee will be holding a diversity workshop on Thursday, Nov. 18 at noon in the Student Event Center. The workshop is part of a series of workshops to help students understand how to get along with those who are different from themselves.
The theme for this workshop is “Understanding my own diversity” and will be facilitated by Dr. Abio Ayeliya, the Student Life and Leadership coordinator.
“So basically we are trying to promote diversity and try to implement it,” Ayeliya said. “We cannot understand diversity issues until we understand our own diversity.”
Students will be asked to participate in the innovative workshop as Ayeliya explores what makes us as individuals diverse and special. Students at one point will be asked to talk to others in their own communities and share their own unique diversity with them to help each other understand and work on their own diverse backgrounds.
The workshop follows on from a workshop Student Life and Leadership held in October. Those who did not get the chance to attend the previous workshop are more than welcome to attend this one, and will be welcome to attend the workshops coming next semester.
The workshop will be open to both students and staff of SLCC and is free. Also, there will be free refreshments provided for all that attend. For questions, Ayeliya can be reached at 801-957-3870.
