If you learn a new culture, you gain a new world
-University Health System employees celebrate multicultural diversity-

BACKGROUND: If you look around, you will notice that our society is VERY diverse. While cultural diversity enriches our lives, it can also be challenging. Learning to recognize the similarities and appreciate the differences of others is critical to the success of any organization. That’s why University Health System is calling attention to its diverse staff with a special “celebration of multicultural diversity,” during National Employee Learning Week (December 8-12). Some University Health System staff members whose cultural roots come from as faraway as Sudan, Malaysia, Bosnia, Nicaragua, China, Spain, Pakistan, Sulawesi and many others, will dress in their ethnic attire to showcase their foods, fashion, music and languages.

WHO: University Health System employees from various countries to share their cultures, customs and traditions.
WHAT: Celebrating Diversity
WHEN: Friday, December 12, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
WHERE: University Hospital, 4502 Medical Drive

(Meet in Corporate Communications, first floor at main entrance of hospital)
