by Michelle Saport |
The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Bruce Schultz and Dean of Students and Associate Vice Chancellor Dewain Lee are seeking nominations of faculty and staff to co-chair and lead the 2016 UAA Black & African American History Month planning committee. For more than 20 years, UAA has been celebrating Black & African-American History Month each February with a variety of events that acknowledge, respect and validate the ways in which Black and African-Americans have contributed to society.
The planning committee co-chairs will appoint and assemble the planning committee with twice-a-month meetings to plan programs that in the past have included a kick-off celebration, film screenings, featured speakers, workshops and a Valentine's Day dance sponsored by the Black Student Union.
If you are interested in co-chairing this committee or would like to nominate a colleague, please email Vice Chancellor Bruce Schultz, at brschultz@uaa.alaska.edu or Dean of Students and Associate Vice Chancellor Dewain Lee, at dllee@uaa.alaska.edu by Friday, Nov. 6.
