By islamic state, so called. In this programme, i want to look at the way the world has changed during my 50 years as a foreign correspondent. And we are in iraq because its played such an important part in my career. Its easy to assume that bad news is the only news, but my experience has been rather different, as well see. With our Cameraman Sitting in front and our security adviser driving, we are getting near mosul now. There, it looks pretty recent, actually, doesnt it . Until a few days ago, this territory was held by islamic state. Craters were made by ieds roadside bombs. Islamic state captured mosul two and a half years ago. Now the iraqi army is on the offensive but the ground is littered with hidden explosives and booby traps left by is. When we get there, gents, please be aware of your footing, in case theres any mines or anything that hasnt exploded yet. There you are. And then you will be able to say, well, i told them just off the main road are some well to do Family Hou
UGA diversity initiative includes dialogue training

Faculty and staff program will help build supportive campus community.
A University of Georgia pilot program launching this month involving faculty and staff will further the university’s efforts to foster a more welcoming and supportive campus community.
Based on recommendations issued by the Presidential Taskforce on Race, Ethnicity, and Community, a committee established by UGA President Jere W. Morehead in 2020, the university is implementing a pilot Reflective Structured Dialogue (RSD) training, beginning this year with two groups of UGA faculty and staff.
RSD builds the capacity of communities and organizations to engage, live and thrive despite their differences through a dialogue process that shifts the goal of conversation from problem solving to mutual understanding.
