EVENT: Southeastern Hosts Fall 2002 R.O.C.K. (Restoring Our Community
Kinship) Conference "Empowering Leaders With A Multicultural Awareness''
DATE: November 7-9
The 4th annual conference is sponsored by Southeastern Oklahoma State University and Northeastern Oklahoma State University. The conference consists of workshops, speakers, student forums and innovative training for student participants. R.O.C.K. provides student leaders and student scholars with the opportunity to address multi-cultural issues through dialogue and collaboration.
The acronym “Restoring Our Community Kinship” (R.O.C.K.) symbolizes the commonality of the human experience and the recognition that shared experiences between diverse populations can create a solid foundation (rock) for student success. The R.O.C.K. Student Leadership Conference is a partnered program that addresses the retention of diverse student populations.
Representatives from two Oklahoma universities and a private college in Texas collaborated in the creation of R.O.C.K. The conference offers innovative training and support to campus leaders from varied racial and ethnic backgrounds that can be translated among all student populations within their respective universities or colleges and surrounding communities.
