¡Bienvenidos, Govie Community!

It is SO good to be back and in person with our entire campus community!

We are kicking off this year's Diversity & Inclusion newsletter with a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Open up the Hispanic Heritage playlist, celebrate some "firsts," pick up a new word in Spanish, and check out articles that celebrate diversity in the arts.

As always, we want this newsletter to engage, challenge, and inspire. We want our community to embrace ALL the ways in which ours and the global community is a wonderful salad bowl of awesome! (Not sure what we mean? Then be sure to read this short Civic Issues article from Penn State.)

So if you like what you see...

if you want to start or continue a conversation about one of the articles...

if you want more of something...

if you have an idea you want us to share in a future issue...

let us know by sending an email or stopping by to chat. We want to hear your voice and we welcome the conversation.
