Diversity Display Window

One of the display windows in the PSU bookstore in the Hartman Union Building (HUB) has been dedicated to programmatic efforts on diversity issues. The idea of the display case was conceived by the President’s Commission on Diversity in 1996, and is supported by Follett Higher Education Group.

The Commission’s goal is to have other constituencies of the campus community (whether they are academic class groups, administrative departments or student organizations), invest in educating others on issues of diversity by designing their own displays for the window. The displays may coincide with topics or cultures being discussed in the classroom, focus around a national theme month, target issues involving ethnic or religious diversity, or may be used in conjunction with a major program which will take place on campus. The intent of the display is not to promote an individual organization or their specific mission.

The window has great visual impact on individuals who walk through the HUB. It’s an ideal location and an ideal way to promote concepts, provoke thought and give a "voice" to diversity at PSU. The Commission hopes that care and planning will contribute to the window’s attractiveness and message as different ideas are expressed.
