I\u2019ve been thinking a lot recently about diversity. It\u2019s a tough subject to avoid these days as the national dialogue bounces from questions of white nationalism to warnings against cultural appropriation and debates about the lasting impact of Caucasian performers in \u201cblackface.\u201d<\/p>\n

At The Chicago School, diversity has been at the heart of our dialogue from the very beginning.\u00a0 Along with the related concept of inclusion, diversity is a central value to our model of education and is woven throughout our mission and our curriculum.<\/p>\n

It is the backbone of our model of professional preparation;\u00a0our graduates enter the workplace knowing that while some mental health issues are universal, others are culturally specific, and demand\u00a0an\u00a0understanding of\u00a0individuals\u2019 background and beliefs.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0meaning\u00a0of diversity\u00a0continues to expand; no longer are we concerned with only diversity of race and religion, but of age, economic and educational background, sexual orientation, gender identity, and ability.<\/p>\n

Diversity is our future \u2013 we must be clear on this. Understanding and embracing it make us richer as individuals and as a nation.<\/p>\n

Remember,\u00a0life is short.\u00a0 Let\u2019s each do our part to make it the best we can, for ourselves and for those around us.<\/p>\n
