AUTHOR TO DISCUSS CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION

     COLUMBUS -- Best-selling author Dennis Kimbro will discuss
marketing America’s future through cultural diversity during The
Ohio State University Office of Minority Affairs annual Faculty
and Staff Colloquy Nov. 20.  The colloquy will take place from 11
a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the Holiday Inn on the Lane, 385 W. Lane
Ave.

     Originated by Frank W. Hale, vice provost emeritus for
minority affairs, the colloquy serves as a forum for faculty and
staff to examine national issues as they relate to higher
education, said Rose Wilson-Hill, director of minority affairs
administration.

     “The minority population is growing at a high rate in the
United States, and as an academic institution, we felt it
important to be in the forefront to discuss its impact on higher
education, and how Ohio State can benefit,” Wilson-Hill said.

     Kimbro, a native of New Jersey, is the director of the
Center for Entrepreneurship at Clark Atlanta University and the
author of several books, including Daily Motivations for African
American Success and What Makes the Great Great: Strategies for
Extraordinary Achievement.

     Deon Strickland, assistant professor of finance, will begin
the colloquy with a morning presentation followed by a 15-minute
question-and-answer period.  Joseph Alutto, dean of the Max M.
Fisher College of Business, will follow Kimbro with brief remarks
and also will answer questions.
