Roderick J. McDavis, Ally President WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE AN ALLY? Age, race, ethnic groups, gender, gender identities, sexual orientations, national origins, cultures, socioeconomic classes, capabilities, ways of thinking, geographic regions, and religions are all forms of diversity. Celebrating diversity in all of its forms serves to enhance the quality of life for students, faculty, and staff and is essential to the recruitment and retention of these same groups. WHY ARE YOU “PROUD”? WHAT ARE YOU MOST “PROUD” OF? Ohio University is committed to promoting an atmosphere where understanding and acceptance of cultural and racial differences are ensured. Embracing diversity enriches education. THOUGHTS FOR NON-LGBT PEOPLE ABOUT LGBT PEOPLE AND CONCERNS: Diversity in higher education is not an initiative. It is our ideal and a commitment we must renew every day!
