Thank You for a Great Diversity Day

Thank you to all those who helped make Diversity Day a huge success.

Many thanks to Victor Quintana and the entire Custodial Staff for the excellent job preparing for the event and handling all of the extra cleaning of the day.

Janice Genova along with her crew in Event Management— Ausma, Ann, Tabitha and Traci— did a great job decorating the performance area.

Chef Tim, Kristi and everyone in the 12th Street Deli organized a great menu and did an impressive job feeding so many people.

Special thanks goes to the entire Language Learning Center staff and volunteers for their hard work and the enthusiasm they inspired in their students.

Thanks to Brad Vickers and the Admin team for their support.

Marilyn Bowlds and the Emily Griffith Foundation helped to raise more money this Diversity Day than any other year (over $12,000)

Thanks to the folks in PR, Frank Aguilar for helping out with all of the printing of promotional materials and to Christine Hill for helping out with the Diversity Day website. Myles Lawler, Sharron Carosella and Chris Millius helped with setting up.

Thank you to the IRC for setting up games and a children's reading corner in the library.

Even though the last-minute change in plans due to the threat of bad weather pulled attention away from some of the demonstrations, the efforts and
the eagerness of Welding, HVAC and Automotive to incorporate our program diversity into Diversity Day must be noted. Thanks to Dean Mitchell, Ryan Thomas, Jerry Gates and TJ for organizing the demonstrations from your departments. Hopefully we can take better advantage of what you have to offer next year.

It is the help of everyone involved that allows us to make Diversity Day a highlight of our cultural and programmatic diversity.
