In Nebraska, our campus highlights a ton of diversity but when it comes down to using students in advertising it can start to become offensive. I am in student government and I've heard some students say that UNO only uses them for advertising for recruitment purposes but never highlights them during leadership events or campus activities. By giving students a place to work together and explore different experiences within the university it can open room for improvement and if staff particulate it can create better learning environments.
At my university, diversity has something that has been highlighted in the past few years, and I feel that this is due to rising movements such as Black Lives Matter. University administration has developed task forces aimed at targeting diverse students to attend college, but personally, I do not feel that this is enough. We must be able to come together and create dialogues where everyone feels welcome so that people of different backgrounds feel that they have the platform to speak their voice. Workshops are a great way to target this message, but workshops are not the final solution to solving this problem.
