Ethnic Studies Advising Changes, Walk Ins This Week & 1st Week of Classes
Dear Ethnic Studies Students & Friends, I’m write to you with a heavy, yet grateful heart to let you know that Friday, August 22nd – BEFORE CLASSES START – is my last day advising. Thank you all for being a part of 6 much loved years as Academic Advisor in Ethnic Studies but it is time for me to move into a more transformative role / position on campus. This semester I begin work as Diversity Scholars Coordinator with The School of Education and the Office of Diversity, Equity & Community Engagement (ODECE). However, I will miss this department more than any other space I have ever worked in throughout my life and it is because I will carry such loving and wonderful relationships and memories I have had with all of you!
I hope to see you in the next couple of days and after that… so please visit me, stay in touch and refer students interested in education (or who just need a helping hand from a caring adult) to my new office located in EDUC 140 (phone: 303-492-2560). Warmest wishes and much love to you all! Cecil

Art & Race / Ethnicity, Fall Course for Undergrads & Grads!
ARTS 4217 ART & RACE/ETHNICITY
THURSDAY, 3:30 PM – 5:50 PM
VAC 1B23
Instructor: Dr. George Rivera
ARTS 4217: ART & RACE/ETHNICITY
This course examines the impact of race and ethnicity on the art world in the United States. We will review the art of Native Americans, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Latin Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and others of ethnic and cultural mixing. The course is grounded in Critical Multicultural Theory and Postcolonial Theory.
Students in all majors are welcomed in this class. You do not have to be an art student to enroll in this class. This course is excellent for those students who want to learn about diversity through art. It guides you through the thinking behind the art so that you might understand cultural others in our own society better.
If you are majoring in Anthropology, American Studies, Ethnic Studies, or Sociology, this course would be a valuable addition to your education.
NOTE: If the prerequisites close you out of this class, just see Professor Rivera at the beginning of the first class and he will allow you to register by waiving this for you.
GRADUATE STUDENTS can receive graduate credit for this class by enrolling in ARTS 5217.
