The Tunnel of Oppression Needs YOU!
The planning process is underway for the 2016 Tunnel of Oppression, an annual interactive program that examines issues of race, religion, sexual orientation, ability, nationality, gender identity and sexual violence. Participants are guided through a series of scenes designed to create awareness about contemporary examples of oppression and to help them think critically about both the nature and impact of such oppression. At the end of the tour, there is a brief facilitated discussion which helps participants process what they've seen and heard. The entire experience lasts approximately 30 minutes per group.
How YOU Can Help!
We are currently recruiting both actors and tour guides to help with this year's Tunnel of Oppression, which will be held on Tuesday, March 15 and Wednesday, March 16, 2016 with tours happening in shifts from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and 4:00-9:00 p.m. No prior acting experience is required! Students can sign up online. Contact Renee Wells if you have questions.

Spring Religious Holidays with Work Restrictions
Several religions prohibit working on certain holidays. To aid faculty and staff with scheduling events and activities, a short list of some holidays on which students, staff or faculty may not be able to work or attend class is linked below. Part of NC State's regulation on classroom attendance and holidays states:
3.1.3 Students will be allowed a minimum of two excused absences per academic year for religious observances as verified by the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA) (300 Clark Hall, 919-515-2963). For more information about a variety of religious observances, visit the Diversity Calendar.
Please try to avoid conflicts in scheduling major meetings, exams and other obligations, and work with students, faculty and staff to accommodate these observances.
See also the Faculty Diversity website for more information. |
