ORL to revamp UGA training
By Micheal Posey | January 18, 1995The Office of Residential Life and Ann Marshall '95 are continuing efforts to revamp the training for the College's undergraduate advisors, area coordinators and graduate advisors this term with the help of money provided through a Bildner Grant last spring. Marshall said her project is an ongoing one aimed at providing better diversity training for UGAs and ACs. "There are presently many vehicles that exist to promote campus diversity, however slight changes may be made to provide more opportunities for education," she said. Marshall, who this fall collected literature addressing racial issues, sexual orientation and cultural differences, said she expects to complete her search this term and to discuss her finding with ORL. Marshall said she would like to see more diverse programming on campus by providing educational training and materials for the student residential life staff. She said she also hopes to provide training that could help dorm clusters sponsor study-breaks highlighting Black History Month or Women's History Month. The College provided funding for the project last spring through a Bildner Grant, which are used to examine intergroup relations. "I decided to focus my interests on educating the community in matters of diversity," said Marshall, who is currently neither a UGA nor an AC. Assistant Dean of Residential Life Allison Keefe said ORL will not implement Marshall's suggestions until next year because student training is only in the fall.
