"Diveristy, Culture, Religion in Science will introduce students to the role of cultural and religious diversity in science, its importance in an era of globalization, and the interesting questions that it raises. We want our students to be thought leaders in these discussions as they develop. We will recruit top speakers to talk about science and culture, religion and diversity from a sophisticated and scientific level-how these issues have shaped their careers, and how the issues are shaping the world of the future. The course will conclude of all these areas and bring them together to prepare our students for that world." - Course description sent out by the registrar.

 This one credit class fulfilled the "interdisciplinary" part of my mission statement for this semester. The class was a one day, ten hour course. After writing a paper, quoting many of the speakers, I believe I have a better understanding of diversity in science. As part of my preparation for future schooling, this one semester course broadened my horizons.
