Under the leadership of Brian Kelley, a group of students, faculty, and staff met for the Study Circle Kick-off on Monday, February 4, in the Gallery of the LLRC - Lake Worth campus. A Study Circle is a small, diverse focus group of 8-15 people who work together for a common goal - to improve communication and race relations within their community.
As part of the Toward a More Perfect Union, the group is encouraged to “Speak out Palm Beach County!" by
• Participating in a forum where personal opinions count,
• Celebrating the community’s diversity,
• Sharing ideas -- getting to know one's neighbors,
• Engaging in stimulating dialog,
• Being involved in planning the community’s future.
Possible topics for future discussions include women in politics, 2008 election, religious tolerance, immigrants, gay and lesbian issues, and HIV in Palm Beach County.
The Study Circles will meet regularly for six to eight weeks at 12:30 pm - 1:30pm in the LLRC Gallery (2nd floor). Check the Diversity Calendar - Lake Worth campus for dates.Over 1,000 citizens have participated in Study Circles throughout Palm Beach County. Here’s your chance to be heard. Be part of your community’s Study Circle.
