AOC Panel: Reflections on EEO & the Future of Diversity at Macalester

Upon this year’s 50th Anniversary of the Expanded Education Opportunity (EEO) Program, join Macalester alumni to examine Macalester’s commitment to Multiculturalism, one of the distinguishing values of the college. Hear from alumni whose experiences span the mid-60s to the EEO Program established in 1969, then through the various iterations of Minority Programs, to Macalester’s current efforts to promote and support Diversity and Inclusion. Barbara Phillips ’71 will moderate this event with speakers Warren Simmons ’73, Shelley Carthen-Watson ’82, Michael Dueñes ’91, Myhana Kerr ’18, and Marjorie Trueblood, Dean of Multicultural Life.

Here are some suggested reading materials to provide background on the history of the EEO Program.
