The evolution of under represented minority groups at lehigh
The Office of Multicultural Affairs at Lehigh University works to promote diversity and inclusion on campus. It aims to support underrepresented minority students and create opportunities to explore different cultures. The Director, Mr. Tyrone Russell, discussed programs like discussions series, celebrations of MLK Jr., and mentoring initiatives. While progress has been made, the office seeks to further encourage appreciation of diversity and respond to students' needs. The representation of women and minorities has increased over time but more work remains to ensure an equitable community.

The document outlines strategies for libraries to align with community goals, provide access to content, ensure sustainability, cultivate leadership, and demonstrate their value through data.

Children literature: A Potent Tool in the Hands of Absentee Parents
Children literature remains the focus of discussions among those concerned with the positive socialisation of children within the African society. However, how it can serve for the socialisation of children by the home has not been clearly understood. This paper discusses the tangible role children literature can play in the socialisation process. It specifically focuses on the way the absentee parent(s) can effectively use children literature as a tool of child training. It outlined the nature of children literature as it exists in the Nigerian society. It identified some important techniques such as didactism, journey motif, child abuse, characterisation, etc., which writers use to convey their messages in Nigerian children literature. It identified how writers use aesthetics to attract, keep and teach children the needed morality in the society. It concludes by outlining the way that the teacher/parent can effectively bring to life children literature to youngsters and thus engage it for positive socialisation of children within the African social milieu.
CHILDREN LITERATURE
Children literature can be a potent tool for absentee parents to socialize and teach their children. It allows parents to impart important lessons and values even when their careers prevent them from being physically present. Children literature should be enjoyable for children while also addressing morals, ethics, and good behavior. When selected carefully and shared regularly with children, literature can effectively guide their development into responsible citizens during the times parents cannot be with them directly.
