From The Editor
Dear readers,
It feels somewhat difficult to talk about diversity right now, to throw around buzzwords about inclusion and equity when on the other side of the world, civilians are being killed en masse over geopolitical forces too complex to solve with a strategic framework or distant promises of belonging.
Our Diversity issue instead looks inward, explores topics close to home and how they directly impact students at Fanshawe College. Our reporters examine how our differences connect us, rather than divide us, whether through shared struggle, food, culture, or art.
Our featured content deals with culture shock, diversity on campus, and the growing acceptance of women-identifying people in the male dominated world of gaming.
Moreover, reporter Gracia Espinosa learns more about accessibility for students with vision impairment on campus, and what more still needs to be done to make sure students of all abilities have access to a fair and equitable college experience.
As ever, we find that college life can be viewed as a microcosm for the world around us. While it’s not perfect, Fanshawe is home to a broad and diverse student body, all here for the same reason: to learn from one another and to grow. To become a better version of the person they were when they walked into their first lecture on their first day of class. That desire to change, to see the world differently and to learn, rather than live in ignorance– that is what truly makes us stronger as a society. And that is what I hope you will take away from this issue.
Sincerely,
Hannah Theodore
