As such, we are proud to announce that Dr. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.utc.edu\/equity-diversity\/profiles\/zsr687.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bryan Samuel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, UTC Director of Equity and Diversity, has been selected to serve as a member of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncore.ou.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">National Advisory Council for the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(NCORE). <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The NCORE conference series constitutes the leading and most comprehensive national forum on issues of race and ethnicity in American higher education. The conference focuses on the complex task of creating and sustaining comprehensive institutional change designed to improve racial and ethnic relations on campus and to expand opportunities for educational access and success by culturally diverse, traditionally underrepresented populations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NCORE is designed to provide a significant forum for discussion, critical dialogue, and exchange of information as institutions search for effective strategies to enhance access, social development, education, positive communication, and cross-cultural understanding in culturally diverse settings. NCORE is housed in the Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies under Outreach at the University of Oklahoma. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a member of the Council, Samuel will help provide recommendations to the University of Oklahoma&#8217;s Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies (SWCHRS), the SWCHRS Executive Committee, and the NCORE staff for the planning and programming of the annual NCORE conference. During his three-year term, Samuel will serve on the Chief Diversity Officers and Executive Leadership Committee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAs the Chief Diversity Officer for the campus, this national recognition will serve as a validation of UTC\u2019s continued demonstrable commitment to diversity. Having myself and other UTC faculty and staff routinely engaged in the national dialogue will support the identification and utilization of national best practices to build and sustain the campus we aspire to be,\u201d said Samuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Samuel was chosen from a large group of applicants, based on experience and skills as well as his demonstrated interest in and dedication to diversity. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDr. Samuel will provide outstanding leadership and \u2018best practice\u2019 guidance for diversity professionals across the country.
