Talking Diversity At Net Impact
Video: Net Impact Student Ishara Emerson Talks Diversity at NI14
"When I think of diversity, I think of diversity and inclusion," Spelman College student Ishara Emerson said at the 2014 Net Impact conference.
"Diversity is all about quantity and getting people together … Inclusion is really about quality: getting those people, from those different backgrounds, and actually inviting them to the table and talking with them."
Emerson is majoring in environmental sciences with plans to become a veterinarian. She has been a part of the Net Impact community for a little over a year.
As part of our Talking Diversity video series, Emerson goes on to make the business case for diversity in this two-minute clip.
Ishara Emerson is a junior at Spelman College and has been a part of Net Impact for a little over a year now. Emerson is from a small suburb right outside of Chicago called Evanston, Illinois.
