 
CSULB Retreat Focuses On Human Relations
This past month I had the opportunity to staff the CSULB Human Relations Summit, an annual program designed to explore personal identity, expose stereotypes and encourage increased dialogue on race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. The summit is a collaboration among several university departments, all necessary to effectively address relevant topics and to thereafter facilitate intense and meaningful discussions.
These departments include Student Life and Development, Counseling and
Psychological Services and Educational Equity Services. Dr. Jeff Klaus,
CSULB’s Director of Student Life and Development, planned and executed
this year’s summit and had this to say about its importance. “What’s
crucial for us to understand, as educators in a diverse society, is the
importance of personal development and the impact racism, sexism and
other forms of discrimination have on students. The Human Relations
Summit is a specific example of how we provide a quality education to
our students outside the classroom, and how we engage them to challenge
themselves through the process.”
Dr. Klaus provided the Long Beach Post with the following slideshow from the Human Relations Summit.

The Hughes Owls are hootin' over their teachers. Mrs. Harper is a stand out! She teaches 6th grade GATE english & social studies. She just "gets" GATE kids, warts and all!
