Diversity Fireside Moves Conversation Beyond Race, Gender
Working professionals must expand their definitions of diversity to include more than just race and gender, U.S. Office of Diversity & Inclusion Director Veronica Villalobos told faculty, staff and students on Oct. 31, 2014, at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business. The new American workplace, as described by Villalobos during the school’s inaugural Diversity Fireside Chat, requires inclusion based on race and gender — but also on other factors such as national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation and even different ways of thinking.
