As the United States becomes a more multicultural nation, we know that any organization is enriched and made more effective through representations of diverse experiences, backgrounds, ethnicity, education, lifestyles and regional and cultural orientation. Each of the videos in this collection can be used as a tool in diversity training and discussions to explore and challenge our assumptions.
