Purpose of the Conference

Issues of culture, ethnicity, race, age, gender, and sexual orientation have assumed greater significance in the United States as a result of changing demographics and the growing national awareness of differences. New skills and knowledge are required in fields such as workforce diversity, human resource management, education, and conflict resolution.

The major goals of this conference are to: (1) offer an opportunity for in-depth diversity training and skills-building; (2) focus on some of the unique issues that professionals face in working with a culturally diverse population; and (3) create a multicultural environment in which an open, cross-cultural dialogue can occur.
