The big buzz word going around today is Diversity and quickly followed by Inclusion. How do you feel about it? Really, when you first hear or see the word "Diversity" what emotions and thoughts does it bring to your mind? I have found that in my audiences there are several different thoughts and reactions. Some people love it, and some people hate it. Some people feel positive thoughts and others dreadful one's. Some people feel like it helps them and others feel like it puts them at a disadvantage.  

Incidents of hate and bias can impact a student's ability to feel safe and welcome on campus. At Stout, we encourage students to report incidents of hate or bias that they experience or witness. Learn more about how you can help create a culture of inclusive excellence.
