Continuing efforts begun in the Fall 2007 semester with the Courageous Conversations series, the SCSU MRRC explores the issues of race and diversity in America both Nationally and locally with "Are We Post-Racial?: Triumps and Struggles in Diversity."

The panel will explore the myths and realities of race, race relations and diversity in Academia and America at large.

Keynote speaker Teresa C. Younger is the Executive Director of the Connecticut General Assembly's Permanent Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW). The PCSW has been the State's leading force for women's equality for 35 years. Prior to her service at the commission, Younger was the Director of Affiliate Organizational Development at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) National Office, where she assisted affiliates throughout the country with organization and management issues. Before her tenure with ACLU National, Younger became the first woman and the first African American to serve as executive director of the ACLU of the Connecticut.

This looks to be a lively and educational discussion and one that should not be missed.
