Assistant Director for Diversity Programs
Program Coordinator
Daniel Cook
Student Intern
"CMEA is an amazing resource and hub of connections for students looking to maximize the impact of diversity on campus. I found that it serves as a wonderful place to bounce around ideas for promoting initiatives and carrying out projects on campus, especially when I was involved with the Hoya Saxa Weekend planning committee. The inviting nature of CMEA makes it so that even those who did not participate in Hoya Saxa Weekend or in the Community Scholars Program can still feel included in programming and opportunities just as much as those who were. The unifying effect of CMEA makes it indispensable part of the Georgetown community and has made me proud to be a Hoya."
Sarah Lim
Student Intern
"CMEA is the epitome of support and community, with its various resources and programs, as well as its incredibly talented and caring staff members who work hard to implement these opportunities. It is always refreshing to see the warmth and rapport among staff, interns, returning students, new students and anyone else who drops by CMEA, familiar faces or not. All that CMEA has to offer would have greatly helped me as a first year at Georgetown had I discovered it sooner; however, I am that much more excited to be here as an intern to make sure others don't miss their chance to benefit from the CMEA community."
Tien Nguyen
Student Intern
"CMEA is an excellent place to find support at Georgetown, for both intellectual pursuits and professional goals. It is impossible to leave the office without experiencing the friendliness of the staff and being impacted by their willingness to help students succeed. The office's many resources and programs promote commendable principles such as diversity and equal opportunity, which create an environment of respect and integrity that values individuals who contribute their experiences to Georgetown's commitment to education and service. CMEA is a community that proudly benefits from embracing every perspective and encourages all students to explore the many opportunities to engage in and grow from the diversity at Georgetown."
Kimberly Posas Bonilla
Student Intern
"The Community Scholars Program is very important to me. It directly tackles the problems that low income minority students face in elite universities: culture shock, isolation due to vastly different economic background, and different academic backgrounds. I know that this program effectively brings together very different students through activities, seminars, and summer courses. They achieve greatness. Community Scholars is only one of the wonderful programs CMEA sponsors and I can't wait to work on more of their amazing projects!"
April-Michelle Thomas
Student Intern
"To me, CMEA represents one of the few places on campus that actually tries to REDUCE rather than INTENSIFYone's stress. When I come to CMEA or take part in its programming, regardless of what I have going on as far as academics, my extra-curricular activities, or my home life, I feel relaxed. I really appreciate the comforting aura of CMEA, its staff and my fellow interns. Everything about this office and its mission makes me feel good - and for me, that's priceless."

What is FERPA (Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act)?
The Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) establishes certain rights for students regarding the privacy of their educational records. While parents/guardians and others may have an interest in the student's academic progress or finances, access to or release of records is provided only with the student's written consent.
If you would like access to your student's financial or academic records, talk to your student about it and have him/her complete the FERPA Release Form(s). There are two separate forms:
- release of financial information including financial aid, and
- release of academic records.
Financial Release
The Financial Release gives the student's designee(s) access to charges and payments on the student's account as well as information and records related to the student's finances at UND, including financial aid. Completion of this form also allows the student access to his/her financial and financial aid records and account information by phone and e-mail. In order to access this form (requires a log-in) your student must first claim his/her account and follow the steps listed.
Academic Records Release
The Academic Records Release allows the student designee(s) access to information directly related to his/her academic progress, such as grades, schedules, or a class list. Note: This form is printable and must be submitted to the Registrar's Office.
For more information on FERPA at UND, call 701.777.3121 or visit Student Financial Aid. For additional information on FERPA rules and regulations, visit U.S. Department of Education.

text: Marijuana Advocate Willie Nelson to Perform at RNC Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart News 31 Jul 2012 post a comment Conservatives don't hate liberal entertainers by default. They simply get grumpy when said folk insult the Right, mock their deeply-held beliefs or describe them in hateful terms. So there probably won't be a lot of teeth gnashing when Willie Nelson starts his set next month at the Republican National Committee in Tampa. Yes, the pot-smoking, tax troubled troubadour will be performing at the year's biggest Republican event. The singer's personal platform leans decidedly to the left, from his embrace of eco-fuels to his push to legalize marijuana. Funds for Nelson's concert will go toward several veterans' groups, another reason Romney supporters will likely look past Nelson's politics and clap along to the beat.

Kim Kardashian Kan't Wait to Marry Kanye Westby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kim Kardashian is a woman in love. Yes, again.
In the latest issue of Tatler, the talent-free reality star admits to knowing how she sounds. She has sang this romantic tune many times before.
"I can't even think about being with anyone else than the man I'm with," Kardashian says of Kanye West, adding of such similar sentiments shared regarding Ray J… and Reggie Bush… and Kris Humphries:
"When I look back at interviews I gave [about ex-boyfriends] saying, 'We're talking about marriage, etc.' It's embarrassing. And I really believed it at the time!"
Of course, Kim didn't just talk about marriage with Humphries. She went through with it.
For 72 whole days.
Admitting she went "over the top" (translation: raked in millions) in this televised ceremony, will Kardashian do so again for her next stroll down the aisle? No, she
lies claims.
"I want to do it on an island with just my friends and family and that's it."
She forgot to mention how those "friends" include every cameraman at E!.
I've recently watched Kim Kardashian Sex Tape!

Kim Kardashian Kan't Wait to Marry Kanye West
I ain't get no doubt it's the best thing i saw
Good luck!
Kim and Kanye are two sides of the same coin. She's a spoiled brat and he thinks he's gods gift to women.(referring to what he did to Taylor Swift).
My 8th grade relationship lasted longer than her grown up marriage.
seriously i think shes a wedding addicter,love is not har thing but using n playing with other peoples feeling is her thing
My husband and I have been together for 10 years. We just got married 2 years ago. Im only 25. People like her do not value marriage at all. Its not something you just do on a whim because you "think" your in love. She married Kris H. cuz she knows shes getting old and she wanted to be married and have a couple kids by the time she was 30. And it's not going to happen if she keeps doing things the same way. She is a DISGRACE TO ALL REAL WOMEN!!
she is such a ho. she aint the marrying type... shes just the boning type then kick her to the curb... she says she wants kids... i dont think she would like sharing the spotlight with them since shes such a fame whore....she goes from one guy to the next.. to me she is a tramp!! her own brother told her that,,,if your own brother calls you a whore then you must be one...
She would marry a monkey if he proposed to her. I have never seen someone soooooooooooooooooooo desparate to find someone (anyone) to marry her. Marriage is easy for her as it means absolutely NOTHING.
I can't wait for the day they quit giving this used up self centered tramp the time of day. Just like they did paris! The kartrashians are so annoying!!!
Golly gee another E Special coming up! Wonder how long this one will last and really who cares?
Pay Hump the 50% you owe him, move on.
I wish these dumb bit*he's would just disappear now. Who cares, we will hear about an affair within the year

SEEMS LIKE EVERY FEMALE IN the state, from first lady to floozy, has graced the cover of Texas Monthly since the magazine debuted in 1973. Over the course of 361 issues, including this one, the cover has captured or mirrored the many faces of Texas women, from the traditionally feminine, such as cheerleaders and beauty queens, to the more challengingly modern, like politicians and self-made millionaires. (And yes, there have also been some unsavory types along the way: stripper, cult leader, murderer.)
Here we have resurrected fifty of our favorite covers featuring girls and women, from a wide-eyed toddler in day care to 99-year-old rancher Hallie Stillwell. You'll also find Congresswoman barbara Jordan and makeup magnate Mary Kay Ash. Naturally we've paid homage to first-ladies-in-law Laura and barbara bush, although our most famous cover ever showed a governor Ann Richards, who was depicted in July 1992 dressed in white leather and straddling a motorcycle. (Actually, the photo is a composite we stuck photographer Kevin Vandivier's head shot of Richards on a model's body.) Besides the "White Hot Mama" shot, Richards showed up on two other TM covers for a total of three appearances, a record matched only by Selena, the tejano singer, and Anna Nicole Smith, a former Playmate and model and a perennial Bum Steer. But a larger-than-life icon trumps them all Texas' beloved Lady Bird Johnson has graced a quartet of covers, all since 1994.
The stars come out on a regular basis we've twice featured actresses Farrah Fawcett and Sissy Spacek and singer LeAnn Rimes. But not all our leading ladies have been so famous. Over the years we've enlisted professional models to help sell dozens of cover stories on subjects ranging from barbecue and tequila to public education and the airline biz. Some shots are unapologetically sexy, like the generous cleavage that spills out under the words "Silicone City" on the cover about Houston's breast-implant business (August 1995). Others are scary, like the masked "Deadly Doctor" that represented a dangerously inept San Antonio physician (April 1987). Even salt-of-the-earth good ol' gals have made their mark on the magazine. In December 1992, for example, Jenny Glenn, of Childress, appeared on the cover to tout a story about big hair-after she sent us a snapshot of her special-occasion 'do, a masterpiece teased and sprayed into the shape of a cowboy hat. Women like Glenn have been a priceless Texas resource since the days of the Republic, and for thirty years they have enhanced Texas Monthly. As songwriter Willis Alan Ramsey put it, "them Texas women is Texas gold."
