Diversity experiences?
There is a question that is being asked to college graduates more and more during job interviews.
“Do you have diversity experiences?”
Corporate America is concerned about the readiness of college graduates to operate in a diverse workforce, according to San Diego State Director of Diversity Aaron Bruce, who spoke at last week’s Associated Students Council meeting. The solution is for students to get involved in more on-campus activities, Bruce said.
“We realize that many students are not participating in all the great activities that SDSU has to offer,” Bruce said. “They kind of find their little niche and they stick with it.”
One idea to strengthen students’ cultural competency is co-circular transcripts that would require students to attend diversity events as part of their college experience in order to earn academic credits.
IRA Fee presentations
A.S. is gearing up for the Instructional Related Activities fee presentations, which will be delivered to the various schools of Education at SDSU. There will also be two IRA Fee open forums taking place this week. The first forum will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m. in A.S. Council Chambers and the second will be at the Aztec Center Backdoor at 2 p.m. Thursday. A.S. executives said presenters would report the facts in a fair and unbiased way, regardless of their personal opinion of the IRA Fee.
