Diversity is more than just black and white.

"Part of your social identity is not just race," Associate Director of Office of Multicultural Programs and Services (OMPS) Marc Cordon ('99C, '00MPH) said. "It's gender, it's sexuality, it's religion, socioeconomic class. All of those factors come in to create who you are and how you perceive Emory."

This week marks the 30th anniversary of OMPS as well as the beginning of Unity Month, an annual celebration of diversity through workshops, discussions and activities organized by OMPS.
