Help Needed
Related to some of the conversations at our last MCTF meeting (summary notes in recent email) stemming from the formative assessment, etc., we need to gather some information from our departments and colleagues. Specifically, what we are asking EACH task force member to do is, prior to our 11/13/00 meeting (please try!), please ask your departmental colleagues, student colleagues, and/or staff or SRG colleagues to answer the following questions and then please bring your responses to our upcoming meeting (if you can't attend please email them):
1) What do you (individual or department) expect from the MCTF?
2) Given the multicultural mission of
our college, and this year's theme of "equity" that the Faculty Senate
has declared, how can the MCTF support you (individually or department-wide) in
pursuing and fulfilling our college and faculty senate missions?
Please talk with (or email if faster) your colleagues and get as much insight into these questions as you can before we meet on Monday.
You are the MCTF's (our collective group's) link to the voices in the college... please ask and then we need to listen!
The next task force meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 24 from 2-3:30. This time we'll meet in Ramsey Center 214. Please make plans to be
there!

"Walking in the Wisdom of the Past"
- Multicultural instructional video for elementary school use.The "Walking in Wisdom" video provides an interesting blend of history and current day Native American cultural information for Georgia's third through fifth graders. Excerpts from several Georgia Department of Natural Resources videos are included in the historical overview of the indigenous Native peoples of Georgia.
The video was developed by the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior at the University of Georgia under the direction of Dr. Pamela Paisley and Dawn Satterfield. Support for the project was provided by a Multicultural Education Grant from the College of Education, The University of Georgia.
