Students Talk About Race

This is an excellent GCC program that trains students to do good in the community. Below is a notice about it from Hoover Zariani.

Hi Everyone:

Just wanted to make everyone aware of a special opportunity for your students!

The STAR program (Students Talk About Race) is a very unique opportunity for our students to get diversity training as well as valuable facilitator training.

The STAR program trains GCC students as facilitators and places them (in teams of 2-3 students) at local middle and high school to facilitate a discussion on the issues of:

Racism (Individual and Institutional)
Sexism
Homophobia
Prejudice
Stereotypes
and much more!

These topics relate to a variety of classes such as sociology, psychology, history, social science, ethnic studies, child development, etc.

Students who wish to participate MUST ATTEND a training on Saturday, September 22nd from 10-4 p.m. They must SIGN UP FOR THE PROGRAM BY SEPTEMBER 20th. They can come into our office and complete an application or request an application by email. Apps are also available on our website at www.glendale.edu/csi

Thank you for sharing this amazing program with your students. It is a life-changing experience for many who have participated.
