The Center for Multicultural and Academic Initiatives hosts monthly diversity dialogue series promoting the positive development of awareness appreciation, understanding, and skill building around issues concerning disability, age, race/ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, gender, religion, and other forms of human variation. We seek to foster dialogue, discussion and activism amongst the program participants through innovative and informative presentations and workshops.

You are invited to submit a program proposal that address diversity issues so that you can share your expertise, research, and knowledge with the Bowling Green State University community. Program proposals, panels, workshops, and discussions can be submitted by faculty, staff, students, and community members. Dates and times of the proposal are coordinated based on topics, space availability, and selected presenters’ schedules.
