Spring is a busy time of year
for all of us affiliated with the Office of Minority
Affairs and Diversity. We recently celebrated the grand opening of our new Native American
longhouse-style facility and now are getting ready to host the annual Kelly Lecture and EOP Celebration.
We hope to see many of our alumni and friends in the coming weeks.
