Abstract
This interactive workshop has been designed from three different perspectives: a white American student, a South Asian American student, and a Southeast Asian student. Our objective is to broaden our audience's views about diversity through cultural decorations, by engaging participants in interactive activities and dialogues, and by looking at results from recent surveys given to students on campus about diversity issues. We will explore the meaning of diversity, assumptions we hold about other groups, and how diversity has played a role in our personal experiences. At the end of this session we hope to bring in a new sense of diversity, encourage students to continue to explore the many different cultures, and embrace the future of this diverse society.
