What Is Diversity?
 Diversity is differences in racial and ethnic,
socioeconomic, geographic, and
academic/professional backgrounds. People
with different opinions, backgrounds (degrees
and social experience), religious beliefs,
political beliefs, sexual orientations, heritage,
and life experience.
The Mix
What Is Inclusion?
 Inclusion involves bringing together and harnessing
diverse forces and resources in a way that is
beneficial. Inclusion puts the concept and practice
of diversity into action by creating an environment
of involvement, respect, and connection—where the
richness of ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives are
harnessed to create business value and overall
success.

What is the difference between diversity & inclusion?
 Diversity is simply a representation of many different types of people
(gender, race, ability, religion, etc.)
 Diversity often focuses on the differences, and is referred to as "the mix.“
 Inclusion is the deliberate act of welcoming diversity and creating an environment

where all different kinds of people can thrive and succeed.
 Inclusion is the act of "making the mix work."
 Diversity is what you have. Inclusion is what you do.

 Simply having a diverse group, team, workforce, classroom, etc., is not enough.
 *Everyone should feel safe and encouraged to fully participate and share and be on
equal footing
as everyone else.

Why Does Diversity Matter at Senior High School?
 1. Diversity expands worldliness. Senior high might be the first time
they have had the opportunity to have real interaction with people
from diverse groups.
 2. Diversity enhances social development. Interacting with people
from a variety of groups widens your social circle by expanding the
pool of people with whom you can associate and develop
relationships.
 3. Diversity prepares students for future career success. Successful
performance in today's diverse workforce requires sensitivity to human
differences and the ability to relate to people from different cultural
backgrounds.
 4. Diversity prepares students for work in a global society. No
matter what profession you enter, you'll find yourself working with
employers, employees, coworkers, customers and clients from diverse
backgrounds—worldwide.

Diversity and the College Experience
Why Does Diversity Matter at College Anyway?
 5. Interactions with people different from ourselves increase our
knowledge base. Research consistently shows that we learn more
from people who are different from us than we do from people who
are similar to us.
 6. Diversity promotes creative thinking. Diversity expands your
capacity for viewing issues or problems from multiple perspectives,
angles, and vantage points.
 7. Diversity enhances self-awareness. Learning from people whose
backgrounds and experiences differ from your own sharpens your
self-knowledge and self-insight by allowing you to compare and
contrast your life experiences with others whose life experiences
differ sharply from your own.
 8. Diversity enriches the multiple perspectives developed by a
liberal arts education.
