Today, April 29, the All People's Recognition Ceremony will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Clarke Field House. The event recognizes students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members who have made a difference in the community and promoted multiculturalism, diversity, and inclusiveness. Sponsored by the Student Life & Leadership & Multicultural Programs office, this event is in its third year and with the number of nominations growing greater each successive year.
Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, will be hosting as well as coordinating this event.
"It [Ceremony] is the opportunity for the campus community to recognize those who've championed diversity and promoted inclusiveness as core values at Cal State San Marcos," said Franklin.
For weeks prior to this ceremony, Franklin and others promoted and encouraged many to nominate their fellow students, faculty, or any other person whom they believe contributed in promoting the core values that make CSUSM an inclusive and diverse environment.
"Progressively through the years the numbers have doubled, so we're pretty happy with the numbers of nominations that we got," said Franklin.
Anybody can attend this event, although an RSVP was suggested. President Karen Haynes will be attending the event to deliver an opening speech, as well as guest keynote speaker, Ashley Walker, an inductee into the 2006 to the Hall of Fame for the Women's History Museum Education Center.
With so many different events put on throughout campus, the All People's Recognition Ceremony, in particular, will help to recognize those that give so much to the school, and give them the recognition they deserve.
