 The
Commission on Promoting Pluralism invites members of
the RIT and Greater Rochester community to participate

on the past, present, and future of the pluralistic
journey that we all travel. The conference theme will

and performances. The three main threads within the
conference theme are consistent with the RIT 175th anniversary
theme.
EDUCATION:
inclusion, awareness, scholarship,
research, history
EXPLORATION: artifacts, values, beliefs, traditions, behaviors
INNOVATION: dance, music, fine art, poetry, outreach community
Sharing your scholarly perspectives regarding diversity
and/or your perceptions of your academic, personal,
community, and corporate journey into diversity is strongly
encouraged. Submissions should include a ~250-word summary
of your event, a description of session format (lecture,
