Breakout session from the Living the Future 7 Conference, April 30-May 3, 2008, University of Arizona Libraries, Tucson, AZ. / As is happening on many campuses, Dominican University has in recent years expanded its emphasis on diversity. It is also true, however, that the term diversity carries various understandings and assumptions which can create barriers to communication and progress. To that end, we recognized that to be effective in campus-wide dialogues regarding diversity, it would be essential to include voices from across the full campus community. In spring of 2004, Brown and Marek joined with another graduate library school colleague to organize a series of university-wide events which brought together administrators, faculty, staff, and students from both undergraduate and graduate divisions to promote a better understanding of cross-cultural communication. This session will provide an overview of the initiative, focusing on the role campus-wide collaboration played in the development and implementation of the event series.
