Upper Right Hand Corner Image Description: A mural, by artist Favianna Rodriguez, that has a primarily mixed orange and yellow background, part of which is lightly striped. At the bottom of the image on the left are small green hills with two wind turbines and flowers, these blend into blue city buildings, and then these blend into a suspension bridge over water. A small (but not necessarily young) Person of Color with short hair wearing a red kufi and blue sleeveless shirt, near the left bottom of the image holds up a dandelion in a flower pot in the direction of a large (but young adult looking) Person (female presenting) of Color with long hair hair (possibly inside a hijab) wearing a dress with musical instruments, garden tools, and dollar bills on the front of it, near the right center of the image extends her arms like a hug around the person with the flower pot. In her arms are the words: Community (with a heart image) and Cooperations (with two crown images); from her mouth two white flowers, two yellow stars and the word: Democracy (in white) swirl to the left, and the words: Interdependence (in pink), Freedom (in blue), and Justice (in yellow) (each word separated by a yellow flower) swirl forward and snake to the right and form into a green, yellow, organ, and red rainbow. At the top of the image are the words: New Economy in white.
Flyer for CME 705: Multicultural Education Image Description
Image Description: Flyer for CME 705: Multicultural Education in blue, green, and yellow. There is an image, by artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano, of a young Latinx male, wearing a brown and orange sweatshirt with the words “Knowledge is Power! Ganas!” in green turquoise, and orange outlining him against a backdrop of orange stripes arranged like sunshine and with a small green image of an anatomical human heart. Above the image the flyer reads “CME 705,” followed by this course description, "Critically documents, across academic subject areas/levels, and questions the accuracy, completeness, and efficacy of, what is taught, how, in what contexts, by/ for whom, and toward what ends; establishes processes for enacting education practices that interrupt, remediate, and eradicate systemic educational inequities and ensure educational success for all students." Below the course description the flyer reads “SUMMER 2024” and lists meeting days, times, modalities, and instructor names for the three offered sections of the course as follows: “SUMMER SESSION I: May 20 to June 7, Section 1001, WEB-BASED (Asynchronous via WebCampus Canvas), Dr. Christine Clark; Section 1002, WEB-BASED (Asynchronous via WebCampus Canvas), Dr. Danielle Mireles; SUMMER SESSION II: June 10 to July 12, Section 1003, WEB-BASED (Asynchronous via WebCampus Canvas), Dr. Christine Clark; NOTE: This course has been approved by the Nevada Department of Education as satisfying Regulation 130-18 and NRS 391.0347 requirements for relicensure. If you have questions about this requirement, check this document [hyperlink].” Below the course section information is this 2010 quote from DiAngelo & Sensoy, “Critical multicultural education challenges our worldview and our sense of ourselves in relation to others. It asks us to connect ourselves to uncomfortable concepts such as prejudice, privilege, and oppression. It challenges the self-delusion in simplistic platitudes such as ‘I don't see color’ and ‘I treat all my students as unique individuals.’”

Flyer for EDU 280: Valuing Cultural Diversity Image Description
Image Description: Flyer for EDU 280: Valuing Cultural Diversity in peach, teal, and black. There is an image, by Jonathan Soren Davidson for Disabled and Here of three Black friends sitting in comfortable chairs and supportive recliners during an evening conversation. In the middle, a friend with narcolepsy falls asleep smiling while clouds drift behind her head. Her girlfriend sits to the left, holding her hand while talking to another sleepy friend across the table. This friend cups hot cocoa to their chest. Everyone is dressed in colorful t-shirts and there is cozy, warm light throughout the room. The top of the flyer reads “EDU 280: Valuing Cultural Diversity,” followed, below the image, by this quote from Audre Lorde, “…we have all been programmed to respond to the human differences between us with fear and loathing and to handle that difference in one of three ways: ignore it, and if that is not possible, copy it if we think it is dominant, or destroy it if we think it is subordinate. But we have no patterns for relating across our human differences as equals…it is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” Below the quote the flyer reads “Summer 2024” and lists meeting days, times, modalities, and instructor names for the two offered sections of the course as follows: “SUMMER SESSION II: June 10 to July 12, Section 1001, WEB-BASED (Asynchronous via WebCampus Canvas), Dr. Norma A.
