1st in year-long forum series starts today

John Singleton, director of International Services, said the assimilation of international students in the United States and at TCU will be among the topics he addresses today during Chancellor Michael Ferrari’s lunch forum.

Sponsored by the Chancellor’s Council on Diversity, the forum is supposed to broaden perspectives on “diversity and inclusiveness,” said Cornell Thomas, special assistant to the chancellor for diversity and community.

“We hope to convey that differences don’t necessarily constitute inequalities,” Thomas said.

Singleton will be the first speaker in the year-long series of discussions intended to raise awareness of various issues affecting the community.

The luncheon will be at 11:30 a.m. today at the Dee J. Kelly Alumni and Visitors Center.
