Is diversity important to you? How do you personally define it, and how do you think we better apply it to our school?

December 2nd, SAME (Students Advocating for Multicultural Education) and The Talon (The AMHS Online Newspaper) will sponsor the “Discovering Diversity” discussion in a panel format with community members, leaders, and current AMHS students. The distinguished guests that will be serving on the panel are:

• Dr. Millicent Brown
• Kevin Clayton 
• Dr. Jon Hale
• Dr. Sophia Rodriguez
• Rev. Bill Stanfield 
• Bratton Riley
• Hong Pi (father of AMHS student Michael Pi)

Mr. Anton Gunn, MUSC’s New Chief Diversity Officer, will moderate the conversation.

There will be two sessions held during 3B and 4B on December 2nd.

Sophomore Session: 11:45-1:00

Lunch: 1:00-1:40

Junior Session 1:45-3:00

“

Ultimately, America’s answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired

— Robert Kennedy

The goal of this discussion is to help us, as a student body better embrace and understand diversity as well as to generate ideas to increase the diversity at our school in particular.
