Talk with Me, Not About Me Community Panel Discussion on Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Identity March 25, 2014 6 p.m. South City Campus, Multipurpose Room 1575 S. State Street, Salt Lake City Moderator: John McCormick: Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Salt Lake Community College.

Angela Romero: Utah State Legislator, Program Manager for the Sorenson Unity Center and Hispanic Rights activist. Mike Wilson: University of Utah doctoral candidate in Philosophy of Science, specializing in Philosophy of Race. Conversations—honest conversations—about race, ethnicity, and cultural identity can be difficult to have; yet, individual and cultural conceptions of race impact every aspect of our daily lives. Words can have an impact, but so can silence. The SLCC Community Writing Center, in partnership with the SLCC Arts & Cultural Events, Utah Humanities Council, The Race Card Project and other groups, invites you to participate in a community discussion on race. The panel discussion includes community members and scholars whose diverse backgrounds have influenced their personal, educational and professional endeavors.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H.
