provides participants with the skills to assist in developing and enhancing student, faculty, and staff awareness of racial, ethnic and cultural issues in higher education; and provides the structure to build and nurture ongoing relationships, dialogues, and support systems through an active, growing alumni\/alumnae group (alums) that is a catalyst for influencing campus decision-making and goal setting.<\/p>\n<p>A project of the 91¸£Àû <a href=\"http:\/\/dll.umaine.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Division of Lifelong Learning<\/a><br \/>\nin collaboration with the 91¸£Àû <a href=\"http:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cooperative Extension<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact <a href=\"mailto:devon@maine.edu\">devon@maine.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
