Diversity Committee Address

Why are you interested in attending SDLC? What do you think that you will get out of the conference?

I am writing to express my interest in obtaining the Summer Intern position with LSAC Diversity Initiatives. Currently, I am a full-time 2L attending Drexel University, Thomas Kline School of Law. I am currently in my third year of a joint degree program with Rutgers University and Drexel, where I will obtain my Masters in City and Regional Planning and Juris Doctor by May 2018. I have a high interest in family, particularly children advocacy, civil rights, and criminal law. I have represented the sort of determination, direction, and diligence that I feel not only effects positive change but also evokes this change with a rich understanding that collective harmony is key to changing the culture of

Women have had a rough way to go for many years when it comes to equality. They face many negative things in today’s society and that is the way it has been for many years. History shows that women have been fighting for equality for decades, because many people believe they just can’t do the things that men can. There’s a website that has been helping women fight for that equality since 1966. That website is www.now.org. Before then women never really had any help. They had to rely on each other to show everyone what they could really do. Women have fought to try and end discrimination when it comes to jobs and economic justice. So the status of women throughout history has changed,

In 1989, the AICPA recognized a need for not only ethnic diversity but also gender diversity. Stemming from the Upward Mobility of Women Task Force, the AICPA’s Women’s Initiatives Executive Committee (WEIC) was formed in order to promote opportunities within the accounting profession for women. The WEIC serves to raise awareness of the gap in progress of women in becoming leaders throughout the profession by providing

The diversity and location of NC State is what draws me to this University. From the first moment I stepped onto the campus, to the tours and talking to current students, I felt the excitement of the campus. NC State is a rich community that is strong because of the variety of classes, teachers, students, and activities, and for the array of perspectives and experiences. From attending a small school in a small town, then transitioning to a larger high school, this feels like a natural next step.

We're looking for alum of all ages, all races, all abilities, all religions, all orientations and all genders to join the Diversity Alumni Council!

In 2016, we appointed a task force to develop strategies to pursue this objective. One of the Diversity Task Force's accomplishments was a planned meeting with the three multicultural real estate organizations. As stated in our previous applications, this meeting introduced our groups to one another and helped us understand each other's missions, challenges, and goals. Recently, we had our 2017 meeting. Each group gave a detailed overview of the organization's key objectives and accomplished goals from the previous year. We announced the two Diversity Grants we received at the meeting and expressed our interest in applying for a third grant, in order to accomplish our own objective in having sponsored an event from all three multicultural

This portion of our textbook basically is telling us that Title VII prohibited employers from treating an employee favorable or unfavorable due to religious practices. The textbook tells us, rather than, being treated differently, employers must make reasonable accommodations for these employees. “a reasonable accommodation is one that the employer can implement to enable the qualified person to perform essential job functions without causing undue hardship to the employer” (Bell, 2013, pg. 438).

Every time I read your post, I have learned something new. I am glad you are sharing your knowledge with me about the Nursing department grant scholarship for students. I was unaware about it. Also, I am glad you have had the privilege to attend a diversity conference seminar, not too many people have that opportunity to hear about it, let alone attend the conference. Unfortunately for me, I have not had that opportunity to attend the diversity conference; however, last year I was one of the educator's to organize a multicultural iinternational fair for the school district. We had a great turnout and many people came to learn about the diversity in my school and tasted the variety of dishes that were prepared for them. I was able to learn a

Thank you very much for writing me a recommendation letter for the diversity fellowship. A recommendation from you will go a long way in helping me get this opportunity. Now that I have all of my application materials, I am excited to submit everything by the februrary1 deadline. Whether or not I get chosen for the fellowship, I am glad that I applied. I am also very lucky to have a respected communications professional like you recommend me for such a great opportunity. Don’t worry about mailing in the recommendation, just email it to me and I will send it with my application packet. Thank you for all your help.

During my senior year, I became the co-Editor-in-Chief of my school’s student newspaper, and I often wrote editorials consisting constructive criticism about the school, for I thought the press existed to urge for betterment. Unfortunately, the school had different ideas and prevented some of my works from being published. One of the unpublished articles discussed the racist nature of a school event titled “Diversity Meet and Greet” and how the school turned diversity into a racial topic. Although this article could not be included in the paper’s February issue, I was passionate enough to speak out in public about the event’s absurdity as well as the real diversity we should promote — the harmony among various areas such as ideology, sex, race,

As I mentioned the other day, I would like to set up a time for you and I to sit down and talk about the program in general. I'm not sure I can do it for a couple weeks, but does the week of April 17th work for

“The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling,” the following saying by Fabienne Fredrickson is the essential idea that I received from Dr. Karl Reid’s Diversity Summits: “Understanding Why Diversity Matters from an Engineers Perspective” presentation. This presentation/workshop was on November 9th, 2016 in the University Memorial Center and this workshop was one of the most inspiration and eye-opening experience that I have ever had in my entire life, especially sense attending the University of Colorado Boulder in the study of Environmental Engineering.

I do think it would be a great opportunity to join the Staff Diversity Committee. I did discuss with Toby Barker and he agreed. I did recently move to second shift, the hours are normally from 3pm to 11pm. I do not foresee that being an issue and I look forward working with you and the other on this new

Diversity is defined as “a state of being different” however, the meaning extends further than just culture and race. It is a concept which revolves around acceptance and respect. Understanding each individual, their tradition, their belief, their uniqueness, and their importance in the community builds up the true meaning of diversity.
