commUNITY DIalogUe SerIeSJoin the center on April 26 for good food and great conversation. Open to students, faculty, staff and com-munity members, the commUNITY Dialogue Series features lunch, a presentation, and time for group dialogue. Bruce T. Lamont, the Thomas L. Williams Eminent Scholar of Strategy and Entrepreneurship with the FSU College of Business, will speak on why it is important to have faculty from underrepresented groups in front of the classroom. Students from underrepresented groups would ben-efit from having faculty with similar race, ethnicity, and gender preferences to serve as role models, men-tors, and motivators. Unfortunately, faculty from un-derrepresented groups are noticeably absent in many disciplines. There are organizations and groups helping to increase the number of faculty from un-derrepresented groups, but the need far outstrips the current supply. Dialogues run from noon to 1:30 p.m. For more information or to RSVP, visit thecenter.fsu.edu/commUNITYDialogue.

SUMMer CoUrSe: arT & THe eNVIroNMeNT Take IFS 3129 Art & the Environment (e-series on-line) this summer. In what ways can artists attempt to effect change through the use of environmental art & design? What are notable strategies used by artists/designers in this field? How can critical thinking be used to ex-pand on issues of sustainable art practices? Art that focuses on sustainability comes in many forms. It reflects a series of ideas about social and ecological issues facing the world today. These projects don't intend to solve environmental problems but point to potential solutions and raise awareness. By analyzing, discussing and writing about these artists and their work you can develop an enhanced awareness of the complexities we are faced with globally and gather perspectives on the ways artists attempt to effect change.

olDer aMerICaNS MoNTH SelFIe ProJeCTOlder Americans Month (OAM) spans across the month of May, and is a time to celebrate our nation’s aging population, or Older Americans. This year’s theme is “Blaze a Trail”, and the Area Agency on Aging for North Florida, Inc. wants to highlight the contribu-tions and impacts that our country’s older Americans have had on others by proposing a selfie photo project starting May 1 and ending May 31. Please take a selfie (or use one you already have), of yourself and an older adult, then post it on social media and tag AAANF (Instagram: AAANorthFlorida; Twitter: AAANorth-Florida; or Facebook: Area Agency on Aging for North Florida, Inc.), use the hashtag #OAMTrailBlazer, and share a sentence or two about what that older adult in your photo means to you, why you respect them, what they have taught you, a reason you love them, etc. Feel free to learn more about OAM or download a logo to use in your selfie: http://oam.acl.gov/ . This is not a location or age-bound project. Participants are welcome to take and post as many photos as you’d like, and the target it to get 500 selfies using #OAM-TrailBlazer. You are welcome to share this idea with others to encourage participation, and there is no cost involved with this project.
