The Diversity Lecture Series is designed to assist members of the USF community to become global citizens. The series provides a forum for faculty, staff, and students to deepen their knowledge and awareness of issues and opportunities for change in our global society. The series aims to encourage our community to consider perspectives other than their own, broaden the basis for critical thought, and promote cultural understanding.
Diversity Lecture Series speakers are chosen to reflect contemporary topics of concern relative to diversity in higher education. We invite lecturers who can effectively share their learned perspectives to help deepen our knowledge, understanding and cultural competency skills and support the mission of the university.
