Back Issue: October 3, 2008 | Staff members of the new Office of Diversity and Equity for Students (ODES) gather for a photo at a September 9 open house. The purpose of ODES is to provide multicultural programming to enrich the college experience of all Gallaudet students. It focuses primarily on the unique needs of multicultural students and strives to facilitate a campus climate that is conducive to their academic success. ODES is composed of three units: Keeping the Promise (KTP) of Educating Black Deaf Males, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA), and Keeping the Promise of Educating Latino Students. The latter unit is being developed this semester, and a pilot program will begin in the spring 2009 semester. Eight faculty, staff, and students have signed up to support the development of the KTP of Educating Latino Students initiative. Pictured (from left) are: Arthur Everette II, KTP of Educating Black Deaf Males coordinator; Ripan Patel, ODES volunteer webmaster; Eloise Molock, ODES program director; Thuan Nguyen, mentoring coordinator for OMSA; Elvia Guillermo, multicultural student programs coordinator for OMSA; Eileen Matthews, ODES executive director; Janice Johnson, ODES coordinator; and ‘Bunmi Aina, KTP of Educating Black Deaf Males director.  |
