  2. Elephant Hugging • Who deserves a chance in your program? • What must they do to earn that chance? • Where are the biases in our system (tradition)? • Do we believe that treating everyone the same is treating everyone fairly? • Are we concerned with those whom we have minoritized?

  3. Minoritized Signifies the social construction of underrepresentation and subordination. Persons are not born into minority status nor are they minoritized in every social milieu(e.g., in their families and places of religious worship). Instead, they are rendered minoritiesin particular situations and institutional environments that maintain an overrepresentation of one racial group and its dominant cultural norms. Dr. Shaun Harper

  10. “If you touch a spider’s web anywhere, you set the whole thing trembling. As we move through and around this world, and as we act with kindness, or indifference, or even hostility toward the people we meet, we too, are setting the great spider web a-tremble. The life I touch will touch another life, and that, in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place and time my touch will be felt. You can’t find a better way to quantify or qualify someone’s legacy. Just think of the web you have set a-tremble”.Frederick Buechner
