motivation and passion. Volunteer work serves as a medium through which Diversity Leaders
attempt to close the achievement gap between white and minority students. Collaborative
brainstorming with students of other schools, as well as with professionals at conference
workshops allow for diversity leaders to bring fresh, positive ideas to Preble. Student Diversity
Leadership will strive for years to come to make Preble all it can be.
