The Landscape of Diversity



Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to experience a graduation at Truman Community College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago. I used to teach ESL (English as a Second Language) there in a previous professional incarnation, but last night I was present as a friend and sponsor of one of the graduates from another country. This amazingly diverse group of people embodied such positive & vital energy. Graduation was a HUGE accomplishment for many of the graduates and their families....for me, the room held had more emotion than at my own graduation from the University of Chicago oh, these many moons ago.

So the same concept applies to people as it does to landscape: diversity equals strength!
