PERSPECTIVES
Perspectives, a subdivision of the Parents Diversity Forum, was
established in 2002 in order to provide a forum for discussion
on issues of sexual orientation. The group aims to reduce homophobia
while simultaneously raising awareness and teaching tolerance.
Weekly meetings are held for any and all interested students and
faculty. The proceeds from this year’s fundraising will benefit
the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Faculty advisor: Abbe Karmen
SCORE - Students
of Color Organized to Represent Equality
SCORE, a subdivision of the Student Diversity Task Force, was established
in 1997 by a group of young women of color with the purpose of offering
those who identify themselves as students of color a place to share
their experiences in a supportive environment. SCORE's goal is to
celebrate ethnic differences and strive to provide a welcoming space
for discussion and project planning. Faculty Advisor: Joan Edwards
