Please join Dixie State University’s Multicultural Inclusion Student Association in celebrating Diversity Week from March 22 through March 26.
Diversity Week is a week dedicated to DSU’s entire student body, and everyone is welcome to participate. Diversity is hard to incorporate within a student body, but Dixie State takes great pride in taking measures to represent everyone and to make sure everyone is included. As DSU grows, so does its student diversity, and it is a beautiful thing to witness and celebrate.
