The College of Technology will host a presentation about building diversity within an organization from an administrator who has helped Clemson University achieve a diversity milestone.

The presentation, titled “Achieving Historical Diversity: Steps toward building a high quality, diverse department,” will be Monday, Oct. 29, in Knoy Hall, B031 at 3:00 p.m.
