Diversity Club Hosts Powerful Conference
On Thursday, February 16, the
Diversity Leadership Club, D4M, hosted an all-day, regional diversity conference in the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Athletic Center. The purpose was to bring area students together to explore the theme “Valuing Individuality” and discuss the “Core 8” cultural identifiers: age, ability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.
The event was attended by 130 students from eight
schools, including Boys’ Latin, Bryn Mawr, Garrison
Forest, Gilman, Maryvale, McDonogh, Park School, and Roland
Park Country School.
The day began with multiple “get-to-know-you-activities”
before participants broke into small groups for difficult
and thoughtful conversations lead by D4M members and
McDonogh student peer facilitators. Topics ranged from
“Alternate Family Structures” and “The Race of Yourself and
Others” to “Exploring Ability in Our Culture of
Perfectionism” and “Diversity in the Media.”
The conference ended on an emotionally intense note with
an open microphone session in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre,
where students reflected on their own experiences at the
conference. Due to the outpouring of positive feedback,
D4M, led by juniors Amber C. and Daniel F., plans on hosting
the conference again next year.
