Dr. Shapiro,
Your role in the In-Service will be more discussion-oriented. The itinerary I have for the In-Service will feature 8 different activities (mostly video-based) that help other student advisors and ProStaff members familiarize themselves with different concepts of diversity and intersectionality such how white people discuss race, racism within the gay community, male body image issues, etc (I can send you the itinerary I have, if you want). Then you and various other members apart of the Truman community who apart of the panel will share their knowledge and experience about concepts of diversity, factors they related to or wanted to expand on that were featured in the videos or their own personal experience with how they balance intersectionality of their identities. The whole In-Service should last about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the audience response (which will other student advisors and ProStaff of Residence Life) with the material. If you have any more questions/concerns. Please let me know. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mac

I am a current senior communication major and psychology minor, currently working as a student advisor in Dobson Hall. I sent you this e-mail inquiring if you would be willing to be a part of an In-Service I am planning for Residence's Life on Thursday, September 15th at 5 p.m (Location: TBA) that focuses on inclusion and diversity training. This In-Service will specifically emphasize the concept know as intersectionality. If you would be willing, I would ask you to share your variable knowledge about social issues and concepts of power due to your educational background with sociology. If you have any questions/concerns about the In-Service, please feel free to let me know. Thank you so much for your

I presented Esteban’s case during case consultation because I noticed that I had countertransference when doing his intake. My expectation when presenting this case was to receive feedback that would help me to provide effective treatment to Esteban without my countertransference affecting his treatment. This section of the paper will talk about the feedback I received about my countertransference and how to support Esteban.
I look forward to participating in activities and community service events that will enhance my learning and perspective about the world. As a group of minority women, we can come together and share unique experiences and perspectives to bring about understanding and make positive changes in the Loyola Community. LUCES will enable me to grow spiritually, academically, and socially around women I can identify with. Though, while being with multicultural women that share one great similarity, we all come from different backgrounds and we are unique. Our differences could pertain to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, religion, high school GPA, and so much more. Being in this diverse setting with the knowledge of one common denominator will enable us to share these differences and be comfortable doing
In 2008, the applicant Rajee Abdul-Rasool appealed on a conviction of reckless conduct endangering life. The offence occurred on Monday 05/08/2002, where the applicant engaged in an altercation with the deputy principal regarding her daughter’s whereabouts, the applicant proceeded to pour petrol over herself, with some splashing onto the deputy principal and the interpreter.
I am interested in the Socially Justice Coordinator position because I want to make sure that various voices are heard around campus. At a predominately white institution, it is very easy for the dominant perspective to be that of a white male, and I want to be a socially conscious coordinator to ensure that the voices of other people don't get muted out by the majority. I have a very personal connection to this goal because I am member of the minority group on campus ,being that I am a black female, so a lot of these issues will hit home for me and draw out my personal passion and commitment. Not only do I want to be a Socially Conscious coordinator to bring to the table some of my own experiences and ideas ,but I also want bring to light the perspective of others that I don't have a lot of have to first-hand experience with, such as members of the LGBTQ+ community, people who suffer from mental health issues ,other minority groups. I believe that it is important to show and represent the perspective of as many people that we can so that the students at the University of Georgia can gain a well-rounded perspective that allows them to be better stewards in this multi-cultural world that we live in. In order to achieve this goal, I will bring to this position my creativity to develop fun, engaging, and beneficial events, my knack of marketing to help spread the word of the socially conscious
When I first came to Antioch, I did not have any social justice or multicultural experience. I had spent the past four years of my undergraduate career, keeping my head down, focusing on school work and working my three jobs. Consequently, isolating myself culturally and becoming unaware both politically and socially. To be totally honest, I didn’t even know what the terms social justice meant. Nevertheless, I kept hearing these terms throughout the Antioch interview and application process, so I did my best to piece together what the staff meant. Thinking, “ok… it's probably seeking justice for all socially”. While that, in a way, had contextual accuracy, it still did nothing for my understanding and I felt too embarrassed to even ask for clarification.
This reflection paper has been written in response to the diversity, inclusivity, and social justice topics that were discussed in class. Understanding these core elements is imperative to being an insightful, capable and well-rounded Resident Assistant.
I am writing to express my interest in obtaining the Summer Intern position with LSAC Diversity Initiatives. Currently, I am a full-time 2L attending Drexel University, Thomas Kline School of Law. I am currently in my third year of a joint degree program with Rutgers University and Drexel, where I will obtain my Masters in City and Regional Planning and Juris Doctor by May 2018. I have a high interest in family, particularly children advocacy, civil rights, and criminal law. I have represented the sort of determination, direction, and diligence that I feel not only effects positive change but also evokes this change with a rich understanding that collective harmony is key to changing the culture of
Currently, I am engaging in service-learning at a non-profit organization called Waite House. This organization is located in Minneapolis, specifically in the Ventura Village neighborhood, which is located in the Phillips community. Engaging in service-learning at Waite House has been a positive experience for me thus far because I feel “at home,” both during the commute and the volunteering experience. The commute is approximately thirty minutes on the public bus and quite often I find myself enjoying the ride. The bus travels throughout various neighborhoods with people from many different backgrounds. While being on campus at the University of Minnesota, I do not experience much diversity in my daily life. Starting off my volunteer days with a bus ride of people who I can relate to in different ways makes the experience much more exciting and valuable for me. Specifically, I see people of all ages, speaking languages and slangs that I can understand. This makes the experience more exciting and valuable for me because I am comfortable in this environment; therefore, I do not feel forced to volunteer at Waite House. As soon as I arrive at Waite House I see the heart-warming smiles on the faces of most of the children as they walk off the school bus.. However, not everyone is smiling. Some of the children are angry because they do not like the idea of after-school programming or engaging in learning opportunities. Oddly enough, this enhances my service-learning experience
I desire to be a member of Diversity and Cultural Engagement as a result of a cultural shock from being at Oregon State. I grew up in a very diverse environment, this included my neighborhood, middle school and high school being filled with people of color and arriving here I felt out of place. I want to be involved with the diversity that there is on campus and be exposed to the resources to help other students that feel the exact same way I do and find a way to be comfortable being on campus. I was depressed when I first arrived to Oregon State, I had gained weight during my fall term and didn’t do so well in my classes. My advisor recommended me to go and seek help at the cultural centers and I felt more connected instantly.
I would love to continue working in an environment that provides resources to families who need affordable housing. Coming from a low-income family and having immigrant parents has made me a woman who appreciates the little things and is passionate about justice. After this internship ends, my goal is to utilize the training and experience I acquired to continue advocating for those who feel that their voice isn’t heard and creating justice for these families. Being who I am and knowing where I come from, I wish to make a change in the lives of those who come from low-income families, and ethnically diverse communities. The training and experience with the Rural West Internship Program will empower a woman who is determined to help her people, to help a community that is desperately in need, and a community that struggles everyday not knowing where they will live or how they will pay rent. I believe that every family deserves to have a roof over their head, and that no child should worry about where they will sleep or if they will even go to school the next day. I especially want to make a difference in low income families who come from diverse backgrounds and who have will little opportunities to succeed because of the injustices in today’s
A major requirement of Principles of Management class is to research a Fortune 100 company and present the findings as a business case analysis. Business case analysis includes history of the company, management performance, SWOT analysis, corporate and company level strategies, code of ethics and appearance of organization in the news. From this research I expect to learn how an organization that started out as small corner store became a Fortune 100 company with hundreds of locations internationally, thousands of employees and millions dollars in profits. I’m also looking forward to learning the “secrets” of the management team of the organization I chose who have continued to make this company successful. We live in a customer-driven environment and for an organization to remain successful and rank in the top 100 companies it has to have an effective management team with the vision into the future. For this assignment I decided to research Whole Foods Market. This organization is well known for its success and creative management approach. This organization appealed to me because of its core values, its stewardship to the communities and environment and its unwavering beliefs in natural and organic style of living. I have always tried to live a healthy life and consume products that are better for me and the environment and it’s been especially true since my daughter was born. She was born with allergies and I had to do my own research into the
I am a young lady that was born and raised in North Philadelphia, where life wasn’t always fair. Throughout my 35 years I have experienced being homeless, hungry, and alone, which is the reason that want my field internships to consist of working with at risk individuals. I believe that I have the will to advocate for those that can’t speak for themselves. In order for me to achieve my dream and goal of being a loud advocate or voice I need to be able to communicate, identify, and seek resources for the population that I want to serve. My goals are to gain the needed skill of resource management that will assist with connecting clients with resources. Along with being able to identify a client’s needs and type of assistance, which will be learned
It is also a “boundary spanning” activity in that it requires active involvement from people both within and outside of the classroom context, often resulting in participant contributors who represent a variety of generations, ethnicities, social groups, and experience levels (Billig and Furco, 2002, p.vii). Service-learning is designed to reduce the boundaries between an institutional campus environment and the community around it. It is designed to connect learning to real experience through service and reflection (Ball and Schilling, 2006; Becker, 2000). As a baseline to facilitate this development, service-learning is distinct from other types of community service and civic engagement experiences in that the service-learning experience must not only have a service and reflective component but also be clearly tied to the curriculum through learning objectives and theoretical underpinnings (Bloomquist, 2015; Pritchard, 2001). As Barbara Holland, former Director of the U.S. National Service-Learning Clearinghouse, shared, “Service-learning is all in the hyphen. It is the enrichment of specific learning goals through structured community service opportunities that respond to community-identified needs and opportunities.” (Kenworthy-U’Ren, Taylor, and Petri, 2006: 121).
