Hello Student Leaders and Organizations,
 
My name is Angel Banks and I am the Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) Director of Diversity Affairs. NISG is planning its Diversity First Retreat, to be held on Sunday, November 15, 2009 from 12-2 p.m. in the Maucker Union University Room, as part of the Diversity First Initiative. The Diversity First Initiative seeks to show NISG's support for diverse student organizations and their unique missions, to promote awareness for issues of accessibility and understanding, and to expose the student body to the cultural and traditional differences that exist within UNI's campus community.

The Diversity First Retreat seeks to promote awareness in the areas of disability, race, gender, education, culture, and sexual orientation, and attempts to do so through bringing students from campus organizations and all walks of life together through a hands-on interactive experience.
 
If you are interested in assisting with planning and coordination of the Diversity First Retreat, please email banksa@uni.edu to confirm at your earliest convenience. If you are not interested in planning but would like to attend the event, you are more than welcome to reply to banksa@uni.edu to RSVP for the event instead. This way, those involved with planning will know how many organizations and individuals to expect for the event. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Thank you,
 
Angel Banks
