While the plight of the so-called “comfort women” has long been seen as a Korean issue, it is simultaneously a broader matter concerning historical justice, human rights, and peace in East Asia. Three experts share information on how the "comfort women’s" long struggle for justice has been received by the public in Korea, China, and Japan. Participants will theorize possible resolutions that could honor the victims, promote the value of human rights, and facilitate cooperation among the three countries.

THE SKIN I'M IN: HEALING, REDEMPTION & ATONEMENT ACROSS THE SKIN COLOR DIVIDE™

In this powerfully transformative "keeping it real" dialogue, participants discuss "colorism," as something to emerge from rather than a phenomenon to continuously perpetrate. The knots in participants' stomachs are loosened as they learn to reject the politics of hue and embrace their own unique array of beauty in the face of society's distorted messaging. Facilitators: Chery D. Cofield – Director of Inclusion & Engagement, Institute Diversity and Stephanie Ray – Associate Dean/Director of Student Diversity Programs

Diversity Week began as Disability and Diversity Awareness Days in 1999 and transformed into Disability and Diversity Awareness Week in 2000. These activities were co-sponsored by the Office of Student Diversity Programs and the Office of Disability Services. These events were designed to promote heightened awareness, acceptance, and understanding of persons with diverse backgrounds and persons with disabilities within the Georgia Tech Community. Diversity Week debuted in 2008 with the theme, “Latitude Adjustment,” and the Office has been using this theme every year. Stephen Covey writes, “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are or, as we are conditioned to see it.” Sometimes we have to move to different place to see the world as it really is. One major goal of the Office of Student Diversity Programs is the prepare students to live, learn and work in a global world. Each year the Office sponsors and co-sponsors several workshops, programs and trainings to prepare our students to be global citizens and global leaders.

The STRONGER Empowerment Tour is a panel event that was created to discuss the various issues prevalent in the black community. The panelists visit various college campuses to speak to young women and men about the issues that are at the forefront of their daily lives. This panel will encourage the students and the community to become more vocal about the problems while at the same time providing a platform to develop solutions. Snacks will be provided by the Women's Resource Center!
