| FACULTY WORKSHOP GREAT SUCCESS Our most ambitious project during this academic year was a workshop for faculty entitled "Promoting Faculty Diversity." Thirty-five faculty and staff attended the workshop designed to facilitate discussion on hiring and retaining a diverse faculty. Carolyn Turner, Ph.D., Research Coordinator of Faculty Programs in the Office of the Associate Vice President for Multicultural and Academic Affairs; and Associate Professor, Educational Policy and Administration, at the University of Minnesota was guest speaker.
