Diversity at Furman

This month we're looking at diversity at Furman and I want to hear your thoughts! This month will require a little feedback on your part but in return you will have your name in lights! Or rather in next months blog post :) 
What do you think about diversity at Furman? Do you see diversity at Furman? How would you define diversity? 
Email me your thoughts and responses and I'll select a stellar answer to post next month. 
One of the most famous quotes about diversity is by Maya Angelou who said,


“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.”



Have you ever looked at a tapestry? Maybe in a museum or in a home? They are incredibly detailed! Without one thread the tapestry would fall apart. It's absolutely essential that all the threads of the tapestry weave together to form a beautiful pictures. If the different colors chose to stay together in blocks of color the beautiful picture that you see above would not be possible. 

Where do you see diversity in your own life? In your classroom, professors? Maybe fellow students or interests?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
