2. A Resume Can Only Say So Much… The following slides highlight some of my unique experiences, in a way that my resume cannot. My commitment to diversity, social justice and holistic growth is evidenced in my community outreach and individual connections with students and the greater university system. Hopefully, this presentation will give you a sample of my enthusiasm.

3. Supervisors and Co-workers Say… “In my estimation, Corey has a valuable blend of characteristics: she has a great intuitive sense of people, passionate about her ideals, and highly motivated to excel in all that she does.” -Reference given by, Mary Faucher, Assistant Director of Residential Life, University of New Hampshire “Corey illustrated her ability to be innovative and creative in numerous ways. One was in using her deep understanding of issues related to diversity to aid in the development and implementation of gender specific services…. Corey was able to assist residents and their families in learning to develop healthy communication patterns, increase positive interactions and to successfully develop coping skills. This helped residents to transition back to their homes. “ -Reference given by Kathleen Kelly, LICSW, Program Director, Life Resources: Bishop Ruocco House. “Her [Corey’s] clinical writing skills were very strong, and demonstrated an ability to articulate clinical issues and treatment plans in a concise and clear manner.” -Reference given by Christine Routhier, MT-BC, LMHC, Instructor, Lesley University Contact information for references is available upon request.

4. The Diversity Mural Project What Does Diversity Mean to Your Generation? “On any given Saturday you can find them working in one of the lounges in the Upper Quad, hunched over their papers working and drawing while chatting with one another, all striving toward the same objective: to capture what diversity means to them.The students described above are working as part of the diversity project on campus to create a mural depicting what diversity means to their generation. Every Saturday they meet in one of the lounges in the Upper Quad to work on their individual canvases and to receive guidance from group leaders and fellow artists. They are working on their separate pieces and will have them shown at an art show unveiling in the Devine Hall Lounge on Dec. 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. The one deemed best will be chosen and painted in a niche in Devine Hall, and two other locations at the Memorial Union Building and the Dimond Library. However, it is more than a contest for many of the participants. Many look at it as a way to explore what diversity means to them and how it interacts with their lives. "My original intention was to educate myself," said Sarin Ay. "I came in to be a student in order to learn about diversity. I thought this would give me a different view." Others, like Aisling Maes, saw it as a chance to express him or herself and share one's beliefs. "We don't always speak what's in our hearts or stand up for what we believe in. This was a good opportunity to do something that would change the campus." Rivard, S. (2006, December 12). Diversity Mural Brings Spirit to the Season The New Hampshire, News.

5. . “We're challenging ideas on diversity and what that means on campus," said Brown. "Diversity is a form of personal distinctiveness. It's a set of one's unique characteristics, beliefs and values that include ethnicity, culture, socio-economics, language, opinions, religious and spiritual beliefs, as well as gender and identity.” -Corey Brown, Co-Facilitator of The Diversity Mural Project Rivard, S.

6. The Social Justice Educator Training (SJE) is a professional development opportunity for UNH faculty, staff and graduate students to further diversity awareness, knowledge and skill sets allowing for critical analysis of the services we provide, and of the relational dynamics we seek in a diverse institution. We explore “social justice” via personal and institutional lenses to analyze: power and privilege, discrimination and prejudice, inclusion and equity through the multiple social identities of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, nationality, ethnicity, ability (physical and mental), religion, etc. This process includes open and honest discussions, readings, and interactive/experiential activities in a respectful environment. The eight-hour training which is divided into two days is facilitated in a small-group setting. Volunteer Instructor: Social Justice Educators:A workshop with UNH colleagues on equity and diversity
