Eckerd College celebrates its diversity

It was gratifying to see the recent video posting from Eckerd College for the annual Festival of Cultures, a celebration of the diversity that is our wonderful institution of higher learning in South St. Petersburg. The video, which you can watch above, begins with the flags of various nations represented by the student body, faculty, and staff at Eckerd. The school goes out of its way to promote multiculturalism, and, indeed, is a role model for us all. "Our differences enrich us all," proclaims a headline on the college's Office of Multicultural Affairs page. It is a philosophy that permeates all healthy communities.
