The conversation about the value of higher education is ongoing. What is the value added of a college education to society. One of the things we know is that higher education provides an opportunity for students to experience a world different than the one they knew when they entered. Diversity and inclusion are at the core of this learning. Thus, those of us who are charged with educating students must first do our own work to prepare for engaging diversity and intersectionality. If we are to prepare the next generation of leaders, the work starts with us.
