GROVE CITY, Pa. – The Office of Multicultural Recruiting and Retention at Grove City College will host its second lunch in the “Unity in Diversity Brown Bag Lunch Series” on Thursday, Nov. 17, from 12 noon to approximately 1:30 p.m. in the Great Room of the Breen Student Union on campus. Attendees are encouraged to bring their lunches to the event; beverages and cookies will be provided. The event is free and open to the public.
At the event, Dr. Steven Jones, associate professor of sociology, will present “The Most Segregated Hour in America,” examining racial segregation in churches. The presentation will be followed by an interactive discussion.
