Celebrating Differences While Creating Community
Office of Multicultural Student Affairs
This presentation covers the basics of diversity. What is diversity? Who is diverse? Why is diversity so important? And finally, what does USC look like? This presentation mixes the basics of diversity with ways we can celebrate our human differences. Participants interact through dialogue and activities to learn more about their classmates and how they relate to their USC peers and beyond!
