Today, I attended a campus workshop focused on Diversity and Inclusion. The event was put on by DICE, and was focused on social identity and how that affects my life and worldview as well as that for others. I felt very uncomfortable going to the event since I knew that many of the topics going to be discussed in it might be controversial. This feeling was likely influenced by my own identities, specifically those that are white and male, since white males are often painted as the enemy to society. However, after going in and experiencing the workshop, I realized that those feelings I had going in were both valid and normal. Through this event, I learned many things about Ohio State–one of these things being that the DICE program exists. Also, I learned that with only 7 more DICE credits, I could earn a DICE certificate of completion which would be a very helpful thing to talk about during interviews if I am ever asked about diversity. I think that diversity and inclusion impacts everyone on a daily basis because it constantly affects our experiences. Personally, I think there is a good amount of focus on diversity here at Ohio State, but only for some areas. In fact, it seems like most colleges focus a really good amount on diversity of race, background, sexuality, gender, etc, but not at all on diversity of thought. Diversity is always a strength, but if you have a pool of 50,000 people who all look different, act different, and more but think the exact same way as one another, then that pool of people is not very diverse. I think that the way colleges today address diversity and inclusion is often politically biased; it ends up pushing one political worldview while shoving another down. This is not true in all cases, but it seems to be true for many and I feel like Ohio State and other colleges alike could really improve in presenting diversity and inclusion in a more unbiased manner. While at the meeting, I do feel like the presenter went very deep into the material, which was beneficial for both understanding and personal reflection. The group I was a part of helped me understand the material by providing valuable insight and viewpoints in discussion, and I feel that this helped me a lot with my own beliefs. Overall, I feel that this was a very positive experience.
