Well, maybe I don't love David Bowie, but I do thoroughly enjoy his song fame. Which currently pertains to my life mate, beloved eternal companion, in whom I'm soooooooooooooo very proud of. That's 14 o's not 13. In today's Sunday Gazette Joe made section B under neighborhoods and voices article, "Minority students laud UNR's diversity efforts. Campus group seeks to bolster unity at school."
Between UNR and TMCC, which facilitate higher learning for some 40,000 students in the Northern NV area, Joe lead a discussion between ARM (Alliance of Racial Minorities), new faculty and staff at both schools along with Presidents, Umoja (Unity group at TMCC with Joe as the academic advisor and founder) and state Senator Bernice Matthews. It was a successful event where students were able to voice concerns and all were able to come up with ideas to help foster more acceptance.
Joe was quoted, "Jody Lykes, a student service employee at TMCC, told faculty and staff members attending the ARM luncheon that they can be the first line of defense for minority students in danger of dropping out. 'We can change that,' he said. 'All of us can influence these students coming on campus. We have the power to say, 'Hello.' That simple little act of saying hello can be an invitation to discuss some of the issues they have in class or out of class."
They posted Charle's picture... but should have put in Joe. He's hotter.
Way to make a difference sweetheart! You make me beam.
