Your college or university campus has many opportunities for you to experience diversity. Through classes, clubs, and informal interactions, you will likely have experiences that enable you to explore diverse ideas or people who are from different countries, cultures, or religions. As you begin to read this chapter, list specific examples of the ways that you’ve already experienced new ideas and people who are different from you.

What are your most important objectives in learning the material in this chapter? Think about the challenges that you’ve had in the past in the area of diversity and write down three goals for the future (e.g., I will take a course that is part of the “diversity curriculum” next semester; I will ask my academic adviser for help in choosing the course).
