DESCRIPTION: (More specifics, including a schedule of events, will follow in a few weeks about the 37th Annual Forum)

The theme for the 37th annual Popcorn Forum is:  Celebrating Humor and Music: Conversations with Comedians and Musicians From the Past

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 workshop credit toward the Certificate in Diversity and Stratification.  All Popcorn Forum events will take place on the North Idaho College campus (except for the 10th Annual Human Rights Banquet) and are free (except for the Banquet) and open to the public.

The organizers this year have provided a forum to “travel back in time to observe and discuss the thoughts, works, and contributions of great women and men in history” and hope you leave “better informed and equipped to understand, cope, and contribute to humankind’s search for a better world.” (See: Popcorn Forum Program: http://www.nic.edu/events/popcornforum/popcorn_forum_program.pdf)

REQUIREMENTS:

To earn one credit towards the certificate, students must register for the workshop credit PRIOR to attending the Popcorn Forum and email John Mihelich informing him of the student’s participation.  Students must then attend 15 hours of activities from the Popcorn Forum Schedule.  To meet the required 15 hours, students will need to attend events nearly every day.  Please contact John Mihelich if you have any questions about attending.  After attending, students are required to write a brief synopsis of each event attended AND a two-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.
