Making Gumbo in the University
October 25, 2010
Daddy liked his conversation the way he liked his gumbo. So begins Rupert Nacoste's memoir, Making Gumbo in the University
. Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor of Psychology Dr. Rupert W. Nacoste has been on the NC State faculty since 1988. Drawing on his Louisiana black-Creole roots for the guiding metaphor, the book chronicles Nacoste's life of work on diversity, especially his two years as the ranking university administrator responsible for diversity at North Carolina State University.
Join us for the next program in the libraries' Fabulous Faculty series when Nacoste discusses how universities, especially NC State, have struggled and failed to manage the diversity of a college campus.
This event is part of the ongoing the NCSU Libraries Fabulous Faculty Series and is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. The Fabulous Faculty Series is generously sponsored by a grant from the Tom Russell Foundation, Inc.
