Diversity Week Update
Diversity Week typically takes place in October, and every year, our UCF family and the Central Florida community astound us with their commitment to being a part of the celebration. This year, the support was so outstanding that the Diversity Breakfast, scheduled for October 13, sold out by June 20. As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act, we welcome Mr. Julian Bond, a Civil Rights leader, activist, writer, teacher, and lecturer, as the Diversity Breakfast Keynote Speaker. Former chair of the NAACP, and veteran of more than 20 years of service in the Georgia General Assembly, Mr. Bond will be sharing with us his speech, “The Road to Freedom: From Alabama to Obama.” As you may know, ODI held a student poster contest earlier this year, and while the winners’ names were announced back in April, the images below are the ones that placed in the top four spots. During the month of
October, the top 15 student poster designs will be on display at the John C. Hitt Library, second floor. Please come view the hard work of our talented UCF students.
From the Diversity Breakfast on Monday, to the last event on Friday, Diversity Week celebrates everything that makes our UCF family truly a family. We hope that you will take a moment to either participate by presenting a workshop, scheduling an event, or being a participant at any of the events that will be on the calendar for the week of October 13.
