UPEI will be celebrating its fourth annual Diversity Week, January 23-27, with all events open to the public. The 2012 theme will be 'Celebrate, Educate, Motivate' with an aim to celebrate the rich diversity at UPEI, further educate and motivate the public about diversity, and personal promotion of inclusion.
Ruth Freeman, Diversity Office Coordinator, is looking forward to the annual event. 'This is the fourth year that we have held UPEI Diversity Week, and it has become a popular campus tradition,' she said. 'All of the events are open to the public, so it's a great opportunity for the broader community to share and contribute.'
Some of this year's Diversity Week events include a diversity film fest; an international pavilion and marketplace which will feature cultural displays, craft sales, international dip tastings etc.; an adaptive technology and interactive educational display; trivia; a Muslim/Christian dialogue on peace; an art show; a graffiti wall; and identity talks.
