When I started my job not quite two months ago, I was struck by and thrilled to discover the wide variety of people on the Auraria campus and within the departments at Metropolitan State College of Denver. Powerful, confident, and bright people of color, of different sexual orientation, and of all ages abound. I grew up in a bi-racial family in the DC area and then traveled extensively in my twenties, and so have often been exposed to the great diversity of humanity. In my opinion, creativity and stimulation ensues when people with distinct characteristics and qualities are brought together. I am thankful that I work for a place that promotes and awards diversity.
