QUESTION 31 OF 35

What does diversity, equity, and inclusion mean to you?

Diversity, equity, and inclusion involve assuming the best in others and ensuring that all feel welcome and celebrated. Diversity encapsulates more than just race and ethnicity; it includes abilities, experiences, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, socio-economic status, culture, and more. Consider sharing a brief anecdote of a time when a diverse group had an impact on you or when you realized the power of diversity. Share how equity and inclusion should be celebrated in the workplace and on school campuses.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important topics to be aware of in the workplace. As schools and workplaces tend to value a diverse pool of applicants, this question will likely be asked. Describe the importance of this as a school value and explain why it is important to you.

"Diversity, equity, and inclusion mean welcoming and celebrating the differences between us. Everyone brings a diverse perspective, given their lived experiences and personal story. DE&I is done best when all people are included and feel empowered to be themselves. I am happy to learn that we both value this important workplace element."
