As you may
know, on May 17 Penn will celebrate its 248th Commencement.
The date also marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme
Court's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education.
The Penn community has observed this significant anniversary
with a variety of programs all around the campus
this semester.
Beginning next
week, as part of Dialogues on Race, your colleagues
will host and facilitate conversations exploring issues
of race as well as related issues of ethnic, cultural
and language diversity and how they impact the work environment
at Penn. You are invited to join other staff members in
conversation on Thursday, April 29 from noon-1 p.m. and
Tuesday, May 4from 1-2 p.m. in Houston Hall.
