Diversity is a notion, when applied to the majority of circumstances, can create a positive conclusion. The trick to producing a positive outcome is often how the different aspects are brought together. Consider a classic dinner combination peas and carrots, the two colors look appealing and the two flavors comes together as one making a superb side dish. Now consider oil and water, these two substance are not often considered a good combination.

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.

Striving for diversity and inclusion is something we strive for at Wisconsin, but is this important for businesses to pursue as well? Diversity and inclusion are essential to growth and innovation in any business. Diversity is having employees that come from a wide variety of racial, gender, ethnic, and sexuality backgrounds.
