Georgetown College Announces Celebration of Diversity
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 3, 2008 -- Georgetown College is hosting "A Celebration of Diversity" (www.georgetowncollege.edu/concert) on May 12, 2008 in Chicago, Ill. The event focuses on the partnership between Georgetown College, ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of "America's Best Colleges" and Bishop College alumni; their successful efforts in renewing the spirit of Bishop College; and the recent creation of the Bishop Scholars Program.
The recently implemented Bishop Scholars Program allows the child or grandchild of a Bishop College alumnus, the honor of carrying on the tradition of Bishop Alumni and keeping the legacy of the college alive. Also, a Bishop Scholar and can also be recommended by a Bishop alumni. The program became a reality when Georgetown College "adopted" 7,000 Bishop College alumni of the now closed Bishop College of Dallas, Texas, a noted historically black college (HBCU) until 1988.
Georgetown and Bishop are creating a new legacy. Bishop scholars will gain degrees under both the Georgetown and Bishop College name. The first four scholars entered Georgetown in the Fall of 2007 semester and are now making history. "We need to get the word out because I am very excited about what it means for the students, their parents and our students," says Georgetown President Dr. William Crouch Jr. With the goal of increasing minority enrollment and the vision of diversity, Dr. Crouch believes, "It is going to add richness to the experience as we interface with more African-American students. Every opportunity we have to experience diversity makes us better."
"Georgetown continues to develop their relationship with Bishop College alumni and we believe an event like this will help us do just that," commented Brian Evans, Executive Director of Georgetown's Office of Diversity.
"Going to college has always been in the making and coming to Georgetown as a Bishop Legacy Scholar has landed me a spot in history," says Ralpheal West of Houston, Texas. West said his father has always spoken fondly of his days at Bishop, and that's why they are both excited to be attending the Celebration of Diversity. Another Bishop Legacy Scholar, Ashley Carter-Colwell says, "I am honored to be a part of the Bishop College tradition at Georgetown. Everyone here has been so welcoming, warm and helpful. I know God has called us all here at this time for a great purpose."
Georgetown College is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive community of students, faculty and staff by respecting and appreciating individual differences and commonalities. They have several programs and partnerships within their Office of Diversity.
The Celebration is a salute to those who have chosen to make diversity a core value in their lives and their work. The Celebration will include a dinner at the Chicago Art Institute followed by a concert featuring the Chicago Sinfonietta. The Celebration starts at 5 p.m. Reservations are required.
