As a citizen of the United States who grew up undocumented and continues to hold this legal status, I have seen and felt the effects of being perceived and treated as “other” in our society. This experience coupled with the teachings from the many classes I have taken during my academic career (e.g., Youth Delinquency, Inequality, Race/Ethnic relations, Women’s Studies, American Indian Studies, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities) have provided me with a deeper understanding of what diversity and social justice means. In America, while there are many races and ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious affiliations among other things, I do not believe we are diverse because the dominant ideology still dictates the status
[1.1].In your setting, there is a range of policies which formally sets out guidelines and procedures for ensuring equality. The policies must take into account the rights of all individuals and groups within the school as well as considering the ways policies work to ensure equality, inclusion. Policies also pay regards to the values and practice, which are part of all aspect of school life.
I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be

The life experience that made me diverse was the moment I stepped foot on U.S. land at age three and became undocumented. Being undocumented became my identity. Fear of being deported grew with me, hiding me in the shadows. I never saw past high school, so I started to take advantage of my supposed last years of learning by maintaining the highest grades I could earn. In return, I have been able to join the National Honor Society, enabling me the opportunity to graduate high school with honors. Seeing my journey going from thinking I was not able to attend college because of my status to being able to graduate with honors has taught I am deserving of a higher education. Being undocumented has not restrained me from pursuing my education,
Diversity refers to the fact that we are all different. Even though people have many things in common diversity recognises that people also have a lot of differences. This can be differences in religion, age, gender, beliefs and many more things we come across in daily life.
As the issue of undocumented immigrants once again dominates the news headlines, our politicians are faced with the difficult task of enforcing the laws of our land, yet humanely and ethically tending to those who illegally reside within America 's borders. As the political parties face off with differing ideologies, the undocumented, who are seen as victims from one side and criminals from the other, are caught in this citizenship purgatory until a political compromise can be achieved. Until such a compromise occurs, the nation is left dealing with the fallout of this population’s existence. Not belonging, they are left to fend for themselves while living in the shadows. Surviving through government assistance or using a stolen identity as a means to gain employment, the undocumented struggle to survive in a nation that is aware of their existence yet chooses to do nothing about it. To address the illegal immigration epidemic in the United States, its leaders must hold all lawbreakers accountable while compassionately and ethically addressing the issue through a balanced approach of amnesty and deportation.

Diversity is embedded in America’s DNA; this is best illustrated by the core message of our constitution. Though the founding fathers’ application of said document was woefully inadequate in terms of inclusion, and the United States has not always lived up to those grand ideas, we have steadily grown better at creating and inhabiting a more just and all-embracing society. Despite setbacks there is hope and progress. As diversity is the key issue of our, or any, time; we must continue seeking, promoting, and ensuring it progression. This is, in short, an imperative and enduring process.

This act ensures that people are protected from discrimination in the work place and in wider society.
One action I will pursue to begin to seek familiarity with people with different backgrounds is by incorporating the knowledge I gained from the first four Ds during my interactions. I intend to begin striking up conversations with people of different backgrounds. I feel as though I can easily incorporate this into my daily life during lunch, when instead of sitting quietly and eating, I can speak to those sitting around me and enjoy the conversation that can ensue, keeping an open mind, as I enjoy my lunch. I feel as though I should naturally let the conversation flow, and let each encounter be unique, without using a preset script, or without trying to direct the conversation in a particular direction.

Hello my name is Callum and I believe that all students, regardless of race, religion, sexuality or situation, should access the same platform for success at college. For this reason, I am running for Equality and Diversity Officer for 2015/16. If I am elected in to this position, I would like to work closely with the LGBT Executive officer, Welfare Executive officer, Women’s Executive officer, Ethnic Executive Officer, Youth Officer and mature Officer to gather any concerns or issues that the group they represent have and see what I can do to resolve these concerns or issues. I would also like to set up a Drop in session where any student can come to me directly to voice any concerns that they have so I can help them with this or pass them
It was the great Mahatma Gandhi who said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Thus, serving as an Advisory Board member would give me an incredible opportunity to continue rising up and reaching back to my community. I would be able first, join in the conversation because I was once told “alone we are strong but as a team we are stronger”. Secondly, it would give me the favorable pleasure of brainstorming with elite diversity champions to come up with suitable ways to reinforce the importance of diversity and inclusion. I am extremely excited and looking forward to being a part of ADCOLOR Advisory Board, which will be a major steppingstone in achieving one of my life’s goals, and I believe that my passion,
