Helen A. Neville Multicultural Speaker Series
The Center organizes and promotes outreach activities to interface with the Columbia community. Among the most successful events of the Center has been the Helen A. Neville Multicultural Lecture Series named in recognition of the many and varied outstanding multicultural contributions to the Center, MU, and Columbia community. The invited speaker is a nationally recognized multicultural expert who not only provides a multicultural lecture for the Columbia public schools, MU, and Columbia community, but also interacts with MU students, faculty, and administrators in a wide range of professional and social contexts. In the past 7 years we have invited Dr. Rosie Bingham, Dr. Manuel Casas, Dr. Robert L. Williams, Dr. Derald Wing Sue, Dr. Helen A. Neville, Dr. James Croteau, Dr. William Liu and Dr. Melba J. T. Vasquez. The titles of the multicultural speeches delivered in the Columbia Public Schools are listed below. To check out the audio or video tapes of the talks, please contact the CMRTC.
