Скачать или смотреть History of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with Larry Dowdy

Diversity, equity and inclusion is an integral pillar of West Chester University, as it aids in recruitment and retention, and contributes to a vibrant campus culture. Yet there were many hurdles to overcome in our institution’s 150 year history. Join Michael A. Di Giovine, Director of the Museum of Anthropology and Archeology, student co-curator Aaron Stoyack, and Lawrence A. Dowdy, former Executive Deputy to the President, in a discussion of how WCU righted historical injustices. A number of artifacts will be highlighted and stories of African American alumni shared. Dowdy will explain that, in spite of being denied on-campus housing, dining room privileges and other opportunities during the early and mid-20th century, African American alumni were triumphant. He attributes their success to their high-quality campus education and the bonds formed with their classmates.
