Ohio University President Roderick McDavis stated in "A Vision for Ohio" that "Diversity is not an initiative; it is a coviction that produces action." Progress depends on courage, commitment, and determination - having the organizational will to make significant changes. Ohio University Southern has moved forward with a plan of action -- Robert Pleasant (Acting Director of Student Services) and Charles Jarrett (Associate Professor of Sociology) combined talents to create the Campus Cultural and Social Awareness Week- a full week of programming offered to celebrate and recognize the diversity of backgrounds and life experiences of the faculty, staff, and students of Ohio Southern (play the video file above for a full range of activities offered to celebrate social diversity and cultural enrichment).
