What does a
historically exclusive college need to consider doing to
make it possible for a higher percentage of historically
excluded cultures to be able to graduate? Is this
important? Why or why not?
Have you
ever thought of how you may feel when you go to college
and the overwhelming majority of students don’t look
like you or communicate in a manner you’re
accustomed to?
Outside
of your own cultural group, which group are you generally
most comfortable with in interpersonal communications?
What are the positive attributes that you see in your
friends who come from this cultural background?
How do
you see college potentially affecting your cultural
experience? How will this potentially affect your self
development?
What are
the benefits of going to college?
How
would a college benefit from having you there?
How does
culture help one in college?
How does
culture potentially serve as a distraction from the
college experience?
Do you
have to “act white” to be successful in
college?
What
does it mean to “act white”?
What
facts have you learned about your culture’s offering
to the development of mankind?
What are
traits of successful college students? (General)
Beyond
the idea of success in an academic setting, what
character traits should a college graduate have to be
seen by others as “successful”?
About half of the students that
start high school in South Central actually graduate in
4yrs. What is it about you that makes you special, able
to compete and complete high school when many of your
classmates have not?
And
within that small group of students that graduate from
high school on time about half of them go on to a
four-year college. What
are some of the reasons that distract people from going
to college?
Where do you see yourself in
10yrs? Who will you be?
What are some of the major decisions or events that
will bring you to the older you?
Where do
you see your race or cultural group in 50yrs? Is that
“where” your cultural group should be in 50yrs? What types of things
could bring about a positive change for a cultural group? What is our part in
affecting those changes?

Banquet
The
potato chip commercial said, "Unbelievably

Grocers Association Banquet?

things can you remember about the Korean American Grocers
banquet that were special to you?
