D.A.P. (Diversity Awareness Program)

“This is your world. Shape it or someone else will.” --Gary Lew (̲̲̅(̲̅C̲̅r̲̅a̲̅ We have implemented four successfully active programs.

The purpose of “D.A.P.” is to encourage diversity and cultural unity in all areas of life among students, faculty, and staff on the University campus. This will be accomplished through energetic and vigorous engagements of dynamic discussions on issues and ideas. “D.A.P.” will serve as a catalyst in encouraging students and members to search for opportunities to become more culturally aware and co

nscious. This organization has educated students around the country by inviting a diverse group of people together and to participate in activities that not only help them to know each other in small groups but also to have discussion topics as a large group. For the students who would or could not come to meetings, we took the meetings to them. The members have recently created a way to promote diversity and stereotypes to the students on campus. Overall, the group hopes to help the campus realize that just because you have this judgment about a particular group of people does not mean it applies to the whole group, hence stereotypes. Nevertheless, this organization has grown and progressed into a widely known and well-loved organization around the country which has created friendships amongst each other that go well beyond the formal meetings. The energy and commitment of the collective whole of its membership is amazingly strong. It has approximately 1,200 members meeting weekly; voluntarily coming together to discuss, role play and challenge each other on social issues, ideas, personal relationships, stereotypes, cultural identities and so much more. I am available to do workshop training to implement one of these programs at your university using a workshop manual and training session entitled "D.A.P." (Diversity Awareness Program) In this training, you will get the tools and skills necessary to spread diversity and cultural awareness at your school. Schools Include:

So honored and grateful to be awarded the 2024 Outstanding Leadership Award from West Chester University. Today, I had the privilege of serving as the keynote speaker at the 2024 Ruby Jones Conference, where I shared insights on "The Dignity-Driven Leader." I focused on helping students develop the skills and tools to create spaces of belonging and use their voices for advocacy on campus.

The conference aimed to create an educational environment where students could engage in learning that raises awareness and promotes action-oriented dialogue on racial, cultural, and social issues affecting life on campus, in communities, and in society.

It was truly wonderful to reconnect with old friends and colleagues—it felt like a homecoming. Once a Golden Ram, always a Golden Ram. Thank you to everyone who made this event so meaningful!

Thank you, La Salle University, for the opportunity to come and conduct a bystander intervention training session with your students. It was a powerful and engaging experience. I hope everyone walked away understanding the importance of not being a passive observer, how to safely intervene in challenging situations, and the role we all play in creating a supportive and inclusive community. Together, we can make a difference by standing up, speaking out, and being proactive allies.

Education should inspire and ignite passion and curiosity, rather than just transferring knowledge. It captures the transformative power of education to spark change, growth, and understanding.
