PNC Brownbag Series Looks at Diversity
Purdue University North Central will present a Brownbag Series in the coming months, with PNC faculty, staff and community members leading programs that center on the topic of “diversity.”
The seminars will vary in style and subject, but all will share the intent of presenting topics and issues that can contribute to the development of a tolerant, inclusive campus and people cultural practices. Some presenters will movie short film clips or interactive pieces that will encourage conversation and discussion, others will display ideas for uncover dialogue and sharing of views and experiences.
The Brownbag Series is coordinated by Bob Mellin, continuing lecturer of English.
The seminars will be presented in the PNC Library-Student-Faculty Building Room 170A, located just off the PNC cafeteria, from noon to 1 p.m. They are free and open to the public and guests may bring their lunch. Varying perspectives are welcome.
