Diversity atFlorida State UniversityPresented By:

Marlynn Lopez, Center for Leadership & Social ChangeMiguel Hernandez, Center for Leadership & Social ChangeIn order to understand FSU and its culture, I believe is it important to examine the history of diversity from various perspectives. Our research begins with a review of the FSU yearbooks available to us from 1900-2007. This resource gives us a glimpse into how diversity evolved on this campus from a student perspective.

In the early 1900s the first theme that emerged in our review is in the form of religiously affiliated student groups. Student Christian Association was co-edu. As a result of being designated a college for women in 1905, gender becomes the next theme that shapes diversity at FSU. During 1910-1920 language & culture clubs begin to provide space for dialogue about diversity. 1914 Irma DeSilva, 1st Latina Post Graduate.
