ISCORE
On Friday March 1st, 2013 i attended my first ever ISCORE. ISCORE is a conference on race and ethnicity. The first event I went to was the keynote speaker, Nancy Barcelo. She talked about equity and diversity in the higher education. She mentioned that Iowa State is doing a great job at this. She also talked about the challenges growing up with diversity in New Mexico. Diversity is your reality, she would say. Being activity involved with diversity will allow you to have a clear understanding of it and the positives that come out of it. She also said not to have tunnel vision and have inclusion. I learned a lot of new things and from different viewpoints. The only negative I got from this event was sometimes it was hard to understand what she who she referring to when she said "we". Other than that it was a great learning experience and I had a good time spending it with Easton, Ally, and Debra.
Expand your dialogue and do something new.

It is definitely a good idea not to have tunnel vision. You need to see the big picture, and you can't do that if you focus on only one aspect of it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great Iowa State is recognized for its diversity programs. I hope to go to ISCORE next year also.
