Welcome to the Diversity Learning Community
The "Diversity Learning Community" is where U-M staff, faculty and students can come together to learn from one another about diversity.
Diversity Enriches Us - The many backgrounds, interests, and traditions of the people in our community create opportunities for us to discover new ways of thinking and being.
The Diversity Passport invites you to join in on a journey to experience firsthand how the variety in our community enriches our lives every day-at work and at home. We often draw inspiration when we listen to each other's experiences. Sharing our stories gives us important insights into life lessons and fosters appreciation, respect and true collaboration.
The Diversity Passport can guide you to new places, conversations, events, movies, books, restaurants, and more. Then, each month, take time to reflect and allow the new information to enrich your own experience and to become part of your own story.
Let the journey begin!
Instructions
The Diversity Passport is hosted by the Business and Finance Diversity Committee (BFDC) in collaboration with its partners and the U-M Diversity Coordinating Council and in thanks to a grant awarded by U-M Diversity Council. The passport program runs from October 2009 through June 2010.

Diversity Passport Notes to Travelers
Participation in the Diversity Passport Program is completely voluntary. For support to participate on
work time, please consult your supervisor. Listed activities and events are merely suggestions for ways to
