As Pennsylvania's only land-grant university, Penn State has a broad mission of teaching, research, and public service. In 1855, the Commonwealth chartered it as one of the nation's first colleges of agricultural science, with a goal to apply scientific principles to farming. A series of undergraduate branch campuses were established in the1930s primarily to meet the needs of students who were location-bound during the Great Depression. Those campuses were predecessors of today's system of 24 Penn State campuses located throughout the Commonwealth. Penn State began offering systematic advanced-degree work in 1922 with the formation of the Graduate School.…
Description of the content This course will provide participants with techniques and skills to enhance their knowledge and skillset related to diversity training. Diversity is a topic that is very hard to discuss, and at times individuals are not willing to engage in conversations with others who may have a different culture or background than themselves.

The event I attended for the diversity assignment was called, “Social Innovation in a Digital Context” (SIDC). The event was held October 16 at the PASSHE Center City campus, located at 701 Market St in Philadelphia. This event was a PowerPoint presentation with a question and answer format at the end.

The SIDC’s goal is creating a successful program that demonstrates the effectiveness in how people of different cultural backgrounds can work together to build better societies.…
My background defines who I am and my ambitions. Due to my background I love diversity and seek to create an inclusive society.

Two mothers adopted me from China and raised me, one Caucasian, the other multiracial, alongside a brother and sister adopted from Ethiopia. Not only are our ethnicities different, our beliefs are too.…
According to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (2012) accomplished reading-language arts teachers understand the instruction of literacy includes the intricacy of pedagogy that embodies a universal, an inventive designed to meet the various literacy needs of every student. A substantial number of teachers who undergo the national board candidacy tend to describe it as the best professional development they have ever experienced, even if they fail to achieve national board certification (Hunzicker, 2011). Also, a teacher who did not submit a portfolio to achieve national board certification, or who were enrolled in a master’s degree program in curriculum and instruction, that incorporated the National Board’s standards…

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF DIVERSITY An organization’s strategy for growth, such as expansion into new markets and mergers and acquisitions could be enhanced by diversity and inclusion.…
Before I decided to take this course, I had my own perception of diversity. I always thought that diversity refers to the differences in cultures, traditions and languages within a multicultural society. The book refers to diversity as “all the ways in which people are different” (Bucher, 2015, p. 2). Through this course I have learned that diversity could be also within a society with people of the same nationality. My perceptions of diversity has changed a lot during this course because now I know that diversity also refers to social class, gender, sexual orientation, race, language and abilities.…
Diversity plan Diversity in a workplace is, the differences among employees in age, sex, culture, religion and background that they bring to the organization. In this case, to increase the diversity in the HIT department, we can start with developing policies that help in increasing the diversity for example policy for bad activities as bullying and teasing which discourage diversity. Nondiscrimination policy which requires, existing and potential employees to agree to it. And reviewing the policies related to recruitment, promotion, employee performance, and other existing employment policies. The second action will be creating a diversity team which will take care of reviewing employment systems and select proper programs.…
Introduction There are many benefits to a well-developed and implemented diversity-training program. Diversity training can help foster a richer, more inclusive organizational culture, can increase employee moral and motivation while decreasing absenteeism and turnover, and can help an organization recruit a more diverse workforce and create more effective multicultural teams (International Multicultural Institute, n.d.). There are many ways in which an organization can develop and implement a diversity training program as well as many tools by which that program’s value can be measured. This paper sets out to look at how I would implement a diversity training program, how I would assess that program, and my perception of the program’s potential…
Strategies: Theme: “‘I have learned that diversity in human experience gives rise to diversity in thought, which creates distinct ideas and methods of problem solving.’” & “And here in America, we don’t give in to our fears.

I lead my life according to the belief that, success is a measure of our perceived reality. We are what we think, and in many socially oppressed communities, barriers toward living a whole, productive, successful life is beyond the grasp for many. Social justice acts as voice for communities held back by systems of oppression, and works to dismantle systems, allowing disadvantaged groups the opportunity to reach their most successful life. Given the opportunity to be chosen to represent the transgender community means to me, being accountable to oppressed communities, the transgender community of Oregon, and beyond. In the words of Walidah Imarisha of Portland State University's Black Studies Department, Oregon State University's Women Gender Sexuality Studies Department ,“It means doing your work in…
