The Alliance of Graduate Students for Diversity presents A Series of Talks by Dr. Joseph White.

Dr. White's solid academic standing, combined with his impassioned activism, have made him a potent force of social change. His dedication to multiculturalism and social advocacy is exceptionally remarkable and can be instrumental in enriching the extant knowledge, awareness, and skills of UO faculty, staff, and students. He is widely known as a "Mentoring Giant" and nationally recognized for his dedication to mentoring students of color.

Dr. Joseph White's visit is proudly sponsored by the Alliance of Graduate Students for Diversity, Student Affairs, Center on Diversity and Community, the Graduate School, Office of Institutional Equity & Diversity, Academic Affairs, Counseling Psychology Program, College of Education, and Ethnic Diversity Affairs Committee, the Graduate School, and the Office of Multicultural and Academic Success.
