Our History Club
The students were looking for a club that supported minority students. We did not want this to be just another diversity club that discusses different heritages or focuses on reviewing historical trends of the mistreatment of minority groups. We decided to start with perception and how people perceive things differently. We came up with “Our History Club” because our history and experiences form how we feel about people different than ourselves. By exploring how perceptions are created, the students could empathize instead of criticizing a fellow student’s ideas ourselves.

Mission Statement:
We are inclusive. We celebrate multiple approaches and points of view. We are building a culture through awareness and where differences are valued. Our experiences in our lives can help build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates diverse voices. When we can respect the other perspective, history becomes “Our History”
