Diversity, as used by Clarkson College, refers to the various ways in which we consciously and unconsciously differ from one another. We believe that the unconscious differences including values, beliefs, tolerance, levels of patience, perceptions, stereotypes, world perspectives and life experiences impact/influence our acceptance of the obvious differences of age, color, disability, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and religious beliefs. 

  

Diversity Council Mission 

The Diversity Council will lead Clarkson College in developing sensitive community support and awareness of diverse individual value systems. This will be accomplished by creating a learning environment that enhances the human potential of all community members as they carry out the values of the organization.
