10.HECUA's summer-term course, "Race in America: Then and Now"
10.HECUA's summer-term course, "Race in America: Then and Now"
If you are
looking to do something unique with your summer-term, HECUA’s "Race in
America: Then and Now" Might be just what you’re looking for. This course
has been running for nearly 10 years, but I think it has a renewed relevance
and urgency given the events of the past year as we have seen a dramatic shift
in public conversation around race in the United States. The tragic deaths of
Michael Brown, Eric Garner, John Crawford, Tamir Rice, and other unarmed black
men dominated the news, powerful protests forced Americans to confront the twin
realities of institutionalized racism and police brutality. Protests spilled
onto the highways of major cities, occupied shopping malls, and dominated
digital spaces, framing dissent around a single rallying cry, originally posted
as a Facebook status by 33 year old Alicia Garza: "Black lives
matter." Race in America: Then and Now dives into questions of racial
justice in America today, and the continuing role of race in the United States.
Students meet with civil rights activists who were active in the 1960s and
those who are active now, as well as lawyers, politicians, educators, and
youth. Field experiences open up connections among issues related to education,
incarceration, distribution of wealth, health care, housing, employment, and
the environment. By the end of the month, students have a profound understanding
of the Civil Rights Movement—its motivations, strategies, successes and
failures—and they have also developed ways to make meaningful contributions to
their own communities. The course (ID 3574, 6 credits) will run from June 8th
to June 29th. It will be based in Jackson, Mississippi, but include multi-day
trips to Alabama, Tennessee, and the Gulf Coast (including New Orleans). Go online for more information, including application instructions.

11.Multicultural Student Recruiting Society
The Office
of Admissions and the Office for Student Affairs are partnering to form the
Multicultural Student Recruiting Society. This program will further enhance the
University's commitment to recruiting, enrolling, retaining, and graduating a
diverse community of student scholars. The student voice plays a key role in
the recruitment of all students to the university. It is imperative that
prospective students are able to make an informed decision as to whether the
University is an environment that will support and foster academic, personal,
cultural and professional growth. The Minnesota Multicultural Recruitment
Society will be a professionally- advised, registered student organization that
will incorporate the student voice into recruiting efforts in new ways. We
will be hosting an information session where students can come and learn more
about the Multicultural Student Recruiting Society and how to get involved. The
session will be held on Wednesday, February 11 at 5:00 p.m. in Jones 235. For
more information or questions, please feel free to contact Lamar Hylton, Assistant Vice Provost for Student Life.
