Diversity @ Keuka College
Written on March 3rd, 2009 at 02:25 pm by Brandon Pierson.Wow, time flies! First off, update from my Field Period, Italy was incredible…I had the time of my life! Italy has some of the best culture and sights in the world! The hundreds of pictures I took don’t do the country justice.
Now that I am back from Italy, I am contributing to the many programs on campus that are highlighting culture and diversity.
Bearers of Ancient Kultures United (BAKU - the multicultural club), which I am President of, created programs for Black History Month, including showing the movie the Secret Life of Bees with a discussion with the Director of Multicultural Affairs here on campus, Chevanne DeVaney. We have also spend a few hours talking with new students!!
The Office of Multicultural Affairs has also been creating programs that surpass anything done before! Chevanne DeVaney is continuing every day to bring new cultural experiences to us. We had Lucille Mallard here, the Geneva Chapter President of the NAACP, to celebrate the 100 years of the NAACP.
For the future, March is bringing two influencial people to campus. NCAA Diversity Speaker Brian C. Johnson and Judge Roy W. King from Rochester for the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration!
Be looking for an interview with Chevanne DeVaney! She is one influencial woman on campus and a great mentor!
