A Panel Discussion and Moderated Conversation on Campus Resource Centers to Support Diversity and Inclusion
Colleges across the country have employed different models of resource spaces on their campuses. Sumi Pendakur, the associate dean for institutional diversity at Harvey Mudd College, Yuka Ogino, the interim director of SCORE at Scripps College, and Mariana Cruz, former chief diversity officer and director of the Multicultural Resource Center at Amherst College, will participate on a panel to help outline the different models in place at those institutions. They will also help frame open and critically-minded questions about the functions and structure of such a center at CMC. Nyree Gray, CMC’s chief civil rights officer and Title IX coordinator, will moderate the discussion.
