Research Guides: Engaging Communities

On Thursday, February 11, 2010, from 11:30 a.m to 1:30 p.m., at a luncheon event in Emerson Suites that is open to the campus, Ithaca College will explore and celebrate the notion of community and the many different communities that make up Ithaca College. At the luncheon three leaders from Syracuse University (James Duah-Agyeman, Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs; Bea González, Dean of University College; and Gina Lee-Glauser, Vice President for Research) will share their current work, their individual stories, and describe how individuals and groups have influenced their lives. Engaging Communities is sponsored by the Office of Human Resource. For more information, contact Osupa T-Davis, Assistant Director of Employee Relations & Diversity in the Office of Human Resources at x-43245 or via e-mail at otdavis@ithaca.edu
