Recognizing Diversity

Iowa State University is one of the most diverse communities in the State of Iowa. Students of different ethnicities, beliefs, and orientations attend our university and bring a rich heritage of traditions to our campus. The combination of all of these truly makes Iowa State a unique place.

The Roling/Dobbels campaign is committed to recognizing the accomplishments of organizations across campus, especially organizations contributing to the diversity of our campus. Many Iowa State students are not aware that groups such as multicultural groups are in fact open to all students and host events that are open to all students. Nate and I are committed to promoting awareness of the events, activities, and accomplishments of all student groups on campus. We are committed to helping all students become involved with events on campus that celebrate the rich backgrounds and traditions of our diverse population. We will work to publicly recognize those groups whose work is truly outstanding. Nate and I are committed to developing personal relationships with the leadership of all interested organizations on campus. Our initiative in developing partnerships will be the key step in accomplishing our goals of recognition and involvement across campus.

What other actions will Nate and I work toward in our administrative roles? Check back tomorrow for the second part of our discussion on diversity.
