Diversity is not a foreign word to me; I have had great opportunities to learn in a different school environment that are predominantly students from various cultures and thrive successfully. I have served as an equity and inclusion intern for LeadMN and on the Diversity Council for Inver Hills Community College (PSEO program).

Diversity is not only about ethnicity and the culture you belong to, but it’s all of the things that make you who you are. My contributions to the diversity found at UK would not be limited strictly to my heritage and background, but also the characteristics that make up my personality, which was heavily formulated by the events and experiences I had as a child. The prominent features of my personality that would be beneficial to the community would be my ability to accept, my ingenuity, and my ability to clearly communicate.

To me, diversity is so important to learn from one another. Being exposed to diversity will unify people, rather than making fun of someone for who they are or where they come from.
