Narratives from the Puget Sound Community
“In my freshman year, a very enlightening experience occurred for me...I had never experienced any other holiday besides Christmas, so when Hanukkah came around, I was very curious. I [was] in our lounge when about six of our Jewish residents came in and had a small ceremony to celebrate these eight joyous days. It was amazing to see the unique traits of their religion, and how despite a difference in scriptures we can all gather together during the holiday to celebrate each other’s presence.”
Narratives from the Puget Sound Community
“I am currently enrolled in Spanish 211 and my professor is from Argentina. She is incredibly lively and very passionate. She has really sparked my interest in the Spanish language and culture. As I have never had a native-speaking Spanish professor before, this is a great experience. I hope to learn more about her customs and culture as the semester progresses.”
The Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) uses the Diversity Strategic Plan to build bridges of collaboration and partnership with faculty, staff, and students.
