This two-day event, bringing together leading academics from across the country, will focus on why people migrate, how it affects culture and identity, and the socio-political issues tied to migration. The annual Multicultural Symposium, in its fifth year, is designed to help the community explore the personal and public face of race, culture and ethnicity in a local, national, and global context.
Events will take place at various times, in different locations within Templeton Campus Center. Consult the symposium website for details.

On Thursday, October 30th at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chamber, Dr. Peggy McIntosh will present her research on the obvious and not-so obvious nuances of white privilege and privilege systems. Her lecture is titled, “Waking Up to Privilege Systems: The Surprising Journey.” Dr. McIntosh’s presentation corresponds to an article, “White
Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack,” where she states, “I was taught to see racism only in individual acts of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group.” Further, her interactive lecture will draw on her experiences and research on the daily effects of white privilege and the discourse surrounding earned strength and unearned power.
The groundbreaking author of “White Privilege and Male Privilege,” McIntosh has been instrumental in putting the dimension of privilege into discussions of gender, race, and sexuality in the United States.
This event, hosted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, is free and open to the public.
