Scheduled for Freeborn Hall 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m., this third annual program celebrates the campus's multicultural staff. The program is designed to give campus constituency groups as well as all staff members an opportunity to celebrate and to discuss issues pertaining to affirmative action and diversity.

Entertainment will be provided 11 a.m.-noon by the singing group Entourage, the African American Repertory Dance Troupe and the UC Davis Gospel Choir. The main program begins at 12:10 p.m. Peltason's topic will be affirmative action at the university.
