    Donald “Don” Haslup Adams 954-816-0168 [email protected] Memories I cherish from Ohio Wesleyan Best opportunity for a fine education in a friendly social setting with many chances to experiment in extra-curricular activities (theater, WSLN, Boy Scout troop 93 thanks to Abbie Seamans' Sociology Course), etc. How Ohio Wesleyan influenced my life I appreciate the value of a liberal arts education that affects so much more than just a way to make a living. Became aware of Student Affairs as a career field. Professor I will always remember and why Harry Bahrick, for teaching a good work ethic and excellent teaching skills and a long- term friendship. Oh yes, and an amazing memory! Professor Robert Marshall, who upon realizing that my non-appearance at the Poetry class Final Exam was out of character for me, phoned his friend, the house mother at the Beta House to see if I was all right. One of the brothers woke me up and in record time I was in the classroom and allowed to finish the exam. He was a scholar, a caring man and a class act. Where I have traveled and places I would like to see Because of my second career as a Tour Operator and Director, I was able to travel to approximately 90 countries, visit all the states and provinces and to spend time living in Australia, South America and several European countries. Still on the list are China, Bangkok, Iceland and a return to Vietnam under somewhat different conditions. I've been fortunate enough to have had homes in over ten states and six foreign countries.

  • Fostering a More Inclusive Recruitment Experience
    1 20.01 Cultivating a More Inclusive Recruitment Experience and Addressing Implicit Bias FOSTERING A MORE INCLUSIVE RECRUITMENT EXPERIENCE Description We ask potential new members (PNMs) and those involved in recruitment to bring their authentic selves to the process in an effort to ensure they find the group within which they will feel a genuine sense of belonging. Yet, the process can often feel staged and curated in ways that leave our members and PNMs questioning how they should show up. Whether virtual or in-person, we must be mindful that genuine conversations and leaving behind the frills (matching attire, décor, ring lights, specified background items, etc.) allow Panhellenic chapters and PNMs to be in a space that accepts and values what they are bringing to the table. As College Panhellenic officers and recruitment counselors, our energies should be focused on inclusive language, the values of our Panhellenic sorority community and celebrating the sisters we have from all identities in an intentional way that supports them. Shared Language Diversity: The blending of different identities, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives within an organization/community, all of which impact the way a person is perceived and received by others, as well as how they perceive and receive the world around them. Equity: The fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement for all people, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. Inclusion: Creating an environment of open participation from all individuals with different ideas and perspectives where everyone feels they have a voice, are valued and feel validated.
