TEE UP FOR SCHOLARSHIPS<br />
The Diversity Advisory Board was developed to support<br />
<strong>Kent</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s mission of a holistic view of student success,<br />
ultimately increasing the graduation rate of underrepresented<br />
and underserved students. The board intends to develop and<br />
implement an annual scholarship fundraiser and to build<br />
collaborations to ensure continuous success for students<br />
through degree completion. The board has planned a spring<br />
<strong>2013</strong> Golf Fundraising Event: Tee Up for Scholarships.<br />
Please join us for a golf outing to raise scholarship funds for<br />
diverse students who are juniors and seniors in good academic<br />
standing and in need of financial support. The website for the<br />

an opportunity to learn about and join one of the more than<br />
280 student organizations on campus. The Game of Life was<br />
an interactive inequality simulation used to bring awareness<br />

The 11th Annual MLK Celebration culminated with stirring<br />
words from Dr. Carlos Muñoz Jr. our featured speaker for this<br />
year. Dr. Muñoz addressed the issue of the many struggles<br />
facing people of color across the nation. Muñoz has gained<br />
international prominence as a political scientist, historian,<br />
journalist and public intellectual. He is active in the Immigrant<br />
Rights Movement, and is currently working on several new<br />
books, including Diversity and the Challenge for a Multiracial<br />
Democracy in America.<br />
