On behalf of the Board Directors, I thank you for your ongoing friendship and support. Our mission is to eliminate bias, bigotry, and racism through education and advocacy. Our work helps create communities where all are connected, respected, and valued. The services provided to middle and high school students and their educators are vital to our community and our future. Our programs will continue and grow with strong support from the community, our friends and our Board. Please take a few minutes to welcome and talk with the student ambassadors who are joining us this evening. Their stories will enlighten you about how our work aff ects them. I want to thank out Honorary Dinner Committee Co-Chairs and the entire Honorary Dinner Committee who helped make this evening a success. I especially want to thank our Board Co-Chairs, Steve O’Bryan, Era Griffi n and David J. Hooker, for their amazing and dedicated work. Tonight we celebrate the remarkable work of Randell McShepard and Bernie Moreno. We celebrate the hard work and passion of The Diversity Center. We celebrate the strength of our students. We celebrate a year of growth and change. We come together to commit to the work required to ensure that all people are welcomed, respected and valued. We hope you will enjoy this evening and hearing about our extraordinary honorees. Thank you for your support! Cipriano S. Beredo, III Chair, The Diversity Center Board of Directors 4 | www.diversitycenterneo.org 63rd Annual Humanitarian Award Dinner e Diversity of northeastCenter ohio I am pleased to welcome you to our 63rd Annual Humanitarian Award Dinner. As a nation and as a community, from Charlottesville to a hateful poster on the campus of Cleveland State University, we are constantly facing challenges in race relations, immigration issues, social and economic justice, LGBTQ discrimination, educational disparities, and so much more. Our work and mission are just as important today as when we were founded in 1927. Your presence here tonight shows that you believe in creating communities where all people are connected, respected, and valued. Each year, the dedicated staff of The Diversity Center is challenged to provide new and unique program off erings and their commitment is shown by our success. Every school and company is unique so every program we provide is designed for that particular organization’s needs. Every camp, conference and retreat requires preparation, discussion, and detailed organization prior to its delivery. And it takes a team – from the program staff who develop and facilitate the program, to marketing so people are aware of the program, to fundraising so we can continue to provide the program. We know our success is reliant on your commitment to us. We thank you for supporting us and helping us to grow through your fi nancial commitment, in-kind donations, and participation in our programs. I thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate the remarkable work of Randell McShepard and Bernie Moreno. Each has shown true leadership, humanity, and a desire to help the next generation from Northeast Ohio.

  • The Cleveland Museum of Natural History
    THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY 2013-2014 Community Report e are pleased to share with you this report to our community. This past fiscal Wyear, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History continued its nearly century-long tradition of providing outstanding science education and conducting groundbreaking scientific research. FROM THE Our curators made noteworthy discoveries, including 20 new species of praying mantis from Central and South America and Africa; a new horned dinosaur with wing-like EXECUTIVES headgear named Mercuriceratops gemini for the twin fossils collected in Montana and Canada; a rare juvenile ape cranium fossil uncovered in China; and fossil research confirming the French origins of historic millstones in Ohio. These significant new finds shed light on our past and have broad conservation implications that can inform our future. In September 2013, we convened the world’s leading paleoanthropologists for a symposium and workshop on human evolution as we unveiled our new Human Origins Gallery, which showcases the most accurate and complete skeletal reconstruction of the iconic “Lucy,” and a strikingly lifelike sculpture of this ancient hominin species. The Museum’s living collection of preserved habitats grew to encompass more than 6,400 acres through the diligent efforts of our Natural Areas Program—ensuring the continued protection of rare local ecosystems in more than 10 counties. Our curriculum-based educational programs reach schoolchildren in our city neighborhoods—including every second grader in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District through the “Inspire: Reach Every Child” program—and across the world via our distance learning studios. We strive to instill a love of science and nature among all ages through our classroom experiences, dynamic exhibitions and outdoor adventures to our pristine nature preserves.
