Orientation Engagement Experience (OEE)

Hallmark number five, "we embrace the gift of diversity," is the most relevant to me. My whole life I've been surrounded by  a diverse amount of people. I've been fortunate enough to have met and befriended people from all around the world. Getting to do this has given me the opportunity to expand my horizon and get to know various cultures personally. The hallmark itself resonates a personal value of mine. I myself value different cultures because I feel that they all together make up the world we live in today. I was raised loving my neighbor and in that I grew to embrace and find something loving from every culture that was presented to me. My OEE activity did express this hallmark. NDNU is known for its diverse community and in that, I met people from places that I've never really heard of. That experience led me to meet new friends and new cultures from the world we live in.
