PAGE 12 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, February 19, 2012 Diversity Institute hosts annual camp The Misericordia University Diversity Institute is hosting its annual Diversity Camp from June 17-21 on campus for high school students entering 11th and 12th grades interested in be- coming ambassadors for change. The theme for the five-day, four-night camp is H.O.PE.: Honoring Other People’s Expe- riences. The camp works to de- velop student leaders who are engaged in, and community ad- vocates for, inclusive excellence. The camp, under the direc- tion of Scott S. Richardson, Ed.D., director of the Diversity Institute - Office of Inclusive Ex- cellence, exposes youth leaders to broader views of inclusion and engages them in skill build- ing for issues around exclusion High school students stay in the Misericordia University resi- dence halls and participate in cultural competency and lead- ership workshops and seminars, and campus-wide cultural events. Camp workshops and seminars will focus on leader- ship development, conflict reso- lution, and cross-cultural rela- tions and communication. The .camp also works to cre- ate a pipeline for underrepre- sented students to successfully transition from high school into the college of their choice. Key in that process is ensuring that students and their families un- derstand the process for apply- ing to college and are aware of all the possible pathways and opportunities available to them.

Carey said she hopes she can have an effect on other families like those who supported her when she was battling the dis- ease. “It’s something I always think about, that my battle is mostly over, but there are still kids who are diagnosed every day and families still have to hear that their child has cancer at the Hershey Medical Center and throughout the world,” said Ca- rey. “This is about what we can do as students to financially help them, and what we can do to help them become survi- vors.” Carey’s first THON experi- ence in 2006 was one she’ll nev- er forget. “It was one of the coolest, most overwhelming experienc- es,” she said. “There were so many colors and people every- where, and it was also amazing to know there was such a big group of students coming to- gether for a good cause.” Ella and Jacob Trimble, of Lancaster, take time for a photo with Erika Reckage, left, a Women's Club Basketball dancer, and Beth Carey at the THON Family Carnival at Penn State University Main Campus in November. This year, Carey is dancing for the Trimble family, which the basketball club adopted two years ago. Ella Trimble finished her last round of chemotherapy last year. After she graduates, Carey hopes to continue participating in THON and other activities related to the Penn State Her- shey Children’s Hospital for years to come. “I want to actually become a physician’s assistant and work with kids and families who are going through what I went through,” she said. “I also want to stay involved with THON — I'll donate every year and come back as much as I can to support the students and families I've gotten to know.” OSTROSKI Continued from Page 11 victory with 20 points and Drew Lojewski chipped in with six points while Aiden Conrad also played well for the winners.
