What is Diversity?


Embracing Differences, Building Stronger Communities

Diversity is more than just the things that make us different—it’s about recognizing, valuing, and celebrating those differences. It includes race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, socioeconomic background, and more. At the Greater Mankato Diversity Council (GMDC), we believe diversity strengthens our schools, workplaces, and communities by fostering understanding, collaboration, and opportunity for all.
