My name is Eugenia, and I believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work is so important to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable to be exactly who they are and who they want to be. No one should go through being discriminated against or excluded due to things they cannot control, but it still happens far too often and I want to change this. I want to join the National Diversity Coalition (NDC) because, as a Chinese student in a predominately white institution and community, I have both witnessed and experienced discrimination firsthand, and I want to help make sure that other people don’t have to go through the same thing.

Baldwin is, in my opinion, already doing really well with educating its students on diversity, equity, and inclusion, but I believe it can do even better to make sure that all of its students are fully educated and continue to participate in DEI work. Its students need to continue having conversations about more sensitive topics. Diversity is beautiful and unique, and everyone needs to realize this and celebrate our differences rather than condemn them.

The Ambassadors of The National Diversity Coalition are student leaders from schools all around the nation that collaborate in the coalition to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion at their school. The Diversity Alliance Executive Team will collaborate with you to elevate your DEI work on a bigger platform with various events and initiatives.
