I hosted a workshop this morning for faculty and administrators featuring the cast of the N*W*C* show. The performers discussed their motivations for developing the show and gave us a chance to discuss our roles in supporting students of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds. Some takeaway points for me:
Cultural awareness blossoms on college campuses. If we do our jobs well, we can make it a positive, educational, growth experience. Most of our attitudes towards race are pretty absurd when held to the light. There is only one race — the human race.
Come to the show tomorrow night with the intention of discussing your reactions with at least one other person afterwards. Tickets are free. I will see you there.
