<p align="center"> <strong>Why are all the Black students sitting together in the House of Blue?</strong></p> <p align="center"> <strong>A conversation on cultural awareness and appreciation</strong></p> <p> Monday, October 22, 2012</p> <p> River Rooms, South Mall, Webb Center</p> <p> Reception: 4:30-5:00</p> <p> Panel Discussion: 5:00-6:30</p> <p> <strong>Description:</strong></p> <p> While adjusting to college managing healthy relationships can be stressful. Students often seek out relationships with others that have seemingly similar cultural experiences. These relationships for racial and ethnic minorities can be called into question by the dominant culture, who might neglect to highlight they participate in similar relationship building techniques. An awareness and appreciation of how we, as human beings, choose to connect can be healing. Gaining a skillset to successfully navigate diverse relationships is a life-long asset that promotes wellness and aids in student retention.</p> <p> <strong>Moderator</strong></p> <p> Dr. JaNae' Taylor - <em>Office of Counseling Services</em></p> <p> <strong>Faculty and Staff Panelists</strong></p> <p> Dr. Robert Perkins, Chair – Department of Sociology - <em>Norfolk State University</em><br /> Dr. Jeffery Toussaint - <em>Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice – Old Dominion University</em></p> <p> Mr. Andrew Jatau - <em>Office of Counseling Services – Old Dominion University</em></p> <p> <strong>Student Panelists</strong></p> <p> Christina Kanu - <em>Senior English Major; Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc</em></p> <p> Sarah Bouazzaoui – <em>Graduate Student in Economics, Global Ambassador</em></p> <p> Melissa Rodriguez – <em>Graduate Student in International Studies</em></p> <p> <em>SPONSORED BY: Office of Counseling, Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, and ODU-National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice</em></p>
