Diversity  is:  •  Different.  •  More  than  race.  •  What’s  within  you,  what  makes  you  different  than  the  person  

next  to  you.  •  Examples:  only  child,  disabled,  hobbies

FIERCE  

Fierce  is  not  a  word  you  would  use  to  describe  every  celebrity.    

What  else  makes  Beyoncé  different?    Beyoncé  is:  

•  A  strong  female  role  model  •  Private  for  a  celebrity  of  her  status  •  AppreciaSve  of  what  she  does,  but  she  never  

planned  on  being  a  child  star  or  celebrity.  

Think  about  what  makes                                            you  different.

Embrace  your  differences.  The  best  thing  you  can  do  is  capitalize  on  what  sets  you  apart  to  help  you  succeed.

Create  a  survey  

·∙  Distribute  within  your  Chapter  to  find  how  your  Chapter  is  diverse.    ·∙  Ask  more  quesSons  than  the  typical  demographics  to  show  members  examples  of  what  diversity  means.    Examples:  

 ·∙  What  is  your  major?    ·∙  How  many  student  orgs  are  you  in?    ·∙  Do  you  live  on  or  off  campus?  

Page 17: LSU - Diversity of Thought

Host  a  Twi?er  chat  ·∙  Raise  awareness  about  a  certain  topic  by  tweeSng  about  it  with  your  members  using  an  appointed  hashtag.    ·∙  For  example,  LSU  wanted  to  raise  awareness  about  microaggression  toward  women.  During  Women’s  History  Month  (March),  we  hosted  a  Twi\er  chat  using  #geauxPRSSA  to  discuss  the  topic  with  members  and  ask  quesSons  to  gauge  their  understanding  and  opinions.

Collaborate  with  other  student  organizaBons  

With  other  organizaSons,  you  can  reach  a  larger  audience  and  be  more  successful  —  whether  you’re  hosSng  an  event  or  serving  the  community.    Examples  of  other  organizaBons:  ·∙  (Pre-­‐professional):  Business  fraterniSes  and  honor  socieSes  ·∙  (Other):  Greek  Life,  LGBT

Woman  of  the  Week  (W.O.W.)  PRSSA  at  LSU  decided  to  celebrate  the  women  of  the  LSU  Manship  School  of  Mass  CommunicaSon  because  public  relaSons  is  such  a  female-­‐heavy  industry.    Each  week,  a  student  would  nominate  a  professor,  and  she  would  be  featured  on  the  PRSSA  at  LSU  blog  and  social  media.  The  blog  post  would  honor  the  W.O.W.  for  all  of  her  successes  and  hard  work  in  the  public  relaSons  field.

Diversity  of  Thought  (DOT)  Campaign  PRSSA  at  LSU  produced  the  Diversity  of  Thought  campaign  to  spread  awareness  about  the  meaning  of  diversity  across  campus.    The  diversity  commi\ee  stood  in  the  area  of  campus  with  the  most  traffic  and  had  students  write  what  they  loved  about  LSU  on  a  dot  and  a  chalkboard  wall.  It  showed  how  every  student  has  a  different  perspecSve  and  experience  even  when  they  go  to  the  same  school.
