The project that I had to participate in was getting involved in community activities and to get everyone to come out to the diversity and leadership conference. The purpose of this conference was to get everyone to come together and learn more about each other and also to get a better understanding of those from different backgrounds as well. The group that I was assigned to was group A which was the marketing team. My role in the group was to get everyone to come out and register for the diversity and leadership conference. Even though I was busy with my other classes, I still made a commitment to volunteer during the weekdays.

My first job was to talk to freshmen students about the conference and also trying to get them to come as well …show more content…
I was kind of scared at first because I was very hesitant to what I was getting myself into. Being a part of this experience also made me to be more motivated than I ever was before. It also played a huge part of my growth as a person because I used to be the person that would kind of give up a little but eventually I just kept pushing and continue to work even harder. What I enjoyed the most about my experience with this service learning project was being around a group of people who accepted me and welcomed me with open arms. I also enjoyed being able to do the marketing part as well because as I was doing it my passion for it continued to grow. What I found the most challenging about this is that I wasn’t able to do the marketing more outside of school because with classwork and everything else I had going on it began to be too …show more content…
I’ve never been to any events on campus but being at this conference was a very amazing learning experience. One of the experiences that I had at the conference was being able to try eating different foods. I’ve always been the person to try new things and being able to do that really shows that I can step out of my comfort zone. I was also able to meet some of the AmeriCorps members and we shared information about the goals we want to pursue and also talked about our plans for the future. Going to some of the sessions with my group was also a very amazing experience for me as well because during that day I was very happy to be able to share those moments with

    Chief Diversity Officer: A Case Study

    I should reconsider my career choice of a chief diversity officer. The article, Experiences of Women of Color University Chief Diversity Officers (Nixon, M. L., 2016) uncovered the immense pressures both personally and professionally that women of color face in their quest to serve as catalyst for diversity in institutions of higher learning. The qualitative study conducted semi structured interviews with five women of color and to determine if the equities experienced relating to being chief diversity officers were a result of their race, gender or an intersectionality of both. The article explores the idea that these women often were in roles of leadership, by virtue of title, however their social identities as women of color and profession isolated them to being outsiders to the institution as a whole (Nixon, 2016). Women of color are more likely to be appointed chief diversity officers, however these tend to be token appointments with minimal authority and extraordinary performance standards.…

    Link Crew Leadership Role

    A leadership role I took on at school was Link Crew. In Link Crew I got to work with the upcoming freshman these past two years. One of my jobs was during freshman orientation when I taught the freshman the basic survival guide to high school. One moment that stands out to me most is when I helped a freshman overcome his fear of not being good enough for high school. He felt that he was not going to fit in because he was academically challenged.…

    Personal Essay: To Kill A Mockingbird Project

    My most impressive project without a doubt would have to be my eagle scout project. When I was 17, I tasked myself with repainting the interior of an apartment used by a ministry for an afterschool program they had. I was able to effectively manage the younger scouts and delegate responsibility to finish the project in a timely manner. We had to move everything off the walls, lay drop cloths, and tape off the door frames. I was required to keep track of the expenses involved, in addition to the tools, equipment, hours, and any donations.…

    The Role Of Diversity In The Workplace

    Have you ever imagined yourself working in an office and your colleagues are all from different countries and with different cultures? Actually most of the people have different feelings about diversity in the work place as not all of the people are adapted to deal with people with different mentalities and habits. Some people think that it is very useful as it is make a successful and highly functioning work environment; however, others think that diversity in the work place is useless and uncomfortable to those who can't adapt with diversity. People who support diversity in work places and believe in its great importance claim that having a diverse workplace is expanding the knowledge and experience of all that are within that utility.

    The Importance Of Diversity In Today's Workplace

    In order to examine diversity in today’s workplace, we must first look at the history of diversity and its place within the workplace. Over the past couple of decades, diversity in the workplace has been an increasing norm, which is visible in many companies. However, today’s definition of diversity has a completely different meaning than what diversity might have meant twenty or so years ago. Throughout the early days of business, when companies began creating initiatives for diversity, the focus was on African Americans and other minorities.…

    Facilitators Of Diversity

    Due to numerous disadvantages (e.g. socioeconomic and education), awareness of the history of injustice and discrimination, fear of additional burden and commitment, poor understanding of research processes, ineffective recruitment procedures, and unfavorable researcher attributes, result in minorities not wanting to participate in research (Table 1). Researchers, their teams, and institutions can create facilitators for engaging minorities in research. These facilitators are a combination of tangible (e.g. providing health services) and non-tangible (showing respect and compassion for minorities) recruitment, retention, and barrier reduction strategies (Table 1). Minority individuals should be empowered, convinced of the relevance of the…
