Welcome to our Diversity Web page!

We affirm and embody pluralism. This is a Continuing Education core value! The concept of pluralism relates to a social system based on mutual respect for each other's cultures. Under a pluralistic society, subgroups, whoever they may be, do not have to forsake their lifestyle, traditions, languages, or customs. Instead, they can express their cultural differences and participate in the larger society free of prejudice.

Every day, more than 50 languages are spoken by students across Continuing Education. Our student body is comprised of representatives from more than 160 countries. With all this diversity, we in Continuing Education think about differences in new ways. We are not merely a “melting pot,” where differences are defused and tolerated. We are a pluralistic community, where differences are appreciated and accepted. We understand that these differences strengthen, enrich, and balance our community. For these reasons, We affirm and embody pluralism.

I invite you to explore this web page and learn more about diversity topics.

Sincerely,

Dr. Anthony E. Beebe, President
San Diego Continuing Education
