Cookley initiates diversity program, named head of Academic Support

Professor Janine Clookey creates a 17-course cluster focusing on issues of diversity at Middlebury for the 1993 Winter Term. Each course will have individualized academic content and will have a real-world application component. Clookey hopes that this will spark "an immediate sense of community among the students". Some of the courses include Coyote to Raven and Peyote to Totema: The Natural World of Native Americans, Afro-Caribbean Writers, Ethnic Chicago, and Bias in the Study of Psychology.

"'We have a purpose of bringing issues of diversity to the surface of the student population. We all, in order to be comfortable here, need to have our issues and our identity more out in the open just so we can be more at home."
