Multicultural Reading Circle

The Diversity Consortium in conjunction with the Cornell University Office of Workforce Diversity, Equity and Life Quality and the Multicultural Resource Center has sponsored a monthly reading circle to provide Tompkins County with an opportunity to engage in a dialogue on diversity related topics.

Each book selection seeks to bring awareness and education in regard to a particular aspect of diversity.  The most important criteria for a book selection are that the book be well written and that it explores basic human truths.

Some of the session will feature guest authors and some sessions will be on-line discussions.
