Respond to the following statement and question.

“What does this mean for you as a leader in this diverse society and professional work world?”

**The need for developing diversity skills on the part of our students extends well beyond their success in school and in the workplace. If our increasingly diverse society is to achieve its fullest potential, it will be because we collectively have made a deep and personal commitment to understanding “the other,” to caring about “ the other,” and to having the skills to work together to shape a just and effective society. In what ways will an increasingly global environment alter the skills required by your chosen career?
