VOICES ON DIVERSITY STARS OUR OWN JESSIE Z!!!!

Take a look at the new diversity & inclusion conversation-starter -- VOICES ON DIVERSITY -- an interview video that looks at what different people at USD have to say about the topic.

Jessie gives a delightful and impassioned clip in Grace Courtroom!

Thanks to her and everyone who participated in the project. It is on the USD web page's diversity pages and will be used in discussion groups, classrooms, and forums on our campus.

This was a project I worked on as a member of the President's Advisory Board for Inclusion & Diversity. I loved it!
