On Campus: Diversity and Free Speech, Echoes of Ghana, Majors and Careers

Diversity and Free Speech. In response to controversies sparked by recent events on campus, the Office for Intercultural Affairs has added a new Diversity Conversation to its regular biweekly series. The discussion, to take place on Friday, March 23, at noon in the Quita Woodward Room in Thomas, will focus on the question, "Does respect for diversity silence free speech?" Although the conversation is not in the usual location in the Multicultural Center, lunch will be served as always.

Echoes of Ghana. This Friday at 4:30 p.m. in Aelwyd 101 (the center house on Cambrian Row), the Haverford and Bryn Mawr students and faculty members who recently traveled to Ghana with the Bi-Co Chamber Singers will share music and slides from their cultural-exchange tour. In addition to music performed by the Chamber Singers, students will offer personal reflections. Snacks will be provided.

Majors and Careers: Alumnae Panel. Can you really get a job with that humanities major? Peer Mentoring Services has organized a panel of alumnae who will discuss their careers and what — if any — roles their major subjects have played in them. All students are invited to the discussion, which will take place Wednesday, March 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Campus Center Main Lounge. Participants, listed with their majors:
