The theme for the 34th annual Popcorn Forum is “Celebrating Canadian-American Friendship.”  The Popcorn Forum presents several days of keynote addresses, workshops and panels concerning the central theme and provides students an opportunity this spring to earn 1 directed studies credit toward the Certificate in Diversity and Stratification.  All Popcorn Forum events will take place on the North Idaho College campus and are free and open to the public (except for 7^th Annual Human Rights Banquet which costs $25).  To earn one credit towards the certificate, students must register for the directed studies credit PRIOR to attending the Popcorn Forum and email one of the coordinators of the certificate program informing them of the student’s participation.  Students must then attend 15 hours of activities from the list below.  After attending, students are required to write a brief synopsis of each event attended AND a one-page (single-spaced) summary essay explaining what they learned and how the experience contributed to their diversity education. The credit is graded based on attendance and the quality of the written submissions.  For more information on the Popcorn Forum, visit the Popcorn Forum website at: http://www.nic.edu/events/popcornforum/

For other information, contact a certificate program coordinator.
