Racial Consciousness Workshops	Funding will allow the Office of Inclusion and Diversity to host two three-day workshops, “The Veridical and the Awakening,” for employees to explore the racial consciousness of African-Americans and European-Americans. These workshops provide the foundation for a shift in perception grounded in factual cultural and intercultural history to aid in the elimination of the myth of white supremacy.

Westlaw Paralegal Resource	Funding will purchase the legal research resources that are necessary for the paralegal studies program to maintain its American Bar Association approval.	$13,500
Collegewide Speaker Series	Funding will provide a thematic approach to introducing students to the complexities associated with a life in a multicultural democratic republic.	$10,000
Intravenous Infusions Devices	Funding will increase the number of intravenous infusion devices in the Nursing Learning Lab at the Harrisburg Campus. Additional infusion devices will increase practice time and facilitate learning and mastery of intravenous skills, leading to a more favorable learning experience and outcome for the students.	$8,210
Replacement of Sphygmomanometers (instruments for measuring blood pressure) in the Harrisburg Nursing Learning Lab	Funding will replace 20 wall mounted aneroid sphygmomanometers and six pole mounted aneroid sphygmomanometers. The current equipment being used is 13 years old.	$1,913.95
