Diversity. What does it mean to you?
As the University mission reads, Georgetown University was “founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical, and spiritual understanding,” and we continue our commitment to promoting a DIVERSE, tolerant and respectful campus community.
We asked your fellow Hoyas, “What exactly does DIVERSITY” mean to you?”
Amelia, Alumna ‘09: “To me, diversity is stepping beyond your boundaries and seeking to learn about what's not in your immediate world. It's recognizing that this world is not made up of what you know and what you are comfortable with and being open to the many differences around you.”
Frances, SFS '12: “Diversity to me means being amused about how complicated and interesting we all are.”
Beth, COL '13: “Diversity means being proud of who you are while loving everyone else's identities, too.”
Josh, COL '13: “Diversity to me is complex . . .and so why do something simple when you can do it complicated?”
We also asked Dennis Williams, Associate Dean of Students and Director of CMEA (Center for Multicultural Equity and Access), WHY diversity is important.
