t-minus 28 days

in 28 days i'll be standing before faculty and colleagues giving a presentation to receive my MS in Education--wow! 2 years has flown by and I can't wait to be done! Until then...well...lots of work stuff like Saturday in the Park an all-school event, the Senior Retreat Sunday-Wednesday, Multnomah graduation the next Friday, and two week of work to close the month of May and have a few days to polish the paper and presentation!  Then two months off of work and school--what a reward!  My paper is yet to have a title and is still being clarified in my own mind, but it will look at the practical application of a multicultural framework for the higher ed. system in the States--from financial policy, to curriculum, to student services, to recruitment strategies etc. I'll apply such a framework to evaluate Multnomah and perhaps also include a brief structural overview of the one-year college that I've slowly began to design. I'll be presenting multiculturalism as a fundamental value of higher ed for the purpose of holistic student development and social change.  Whew...we'll see how it all comes out!!!
