National Diversity:
National Diversity Day is a day to celebrate and embrace who we are, despite our differences, no matter what race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, nationality, or disability. National Diversity Day is an annual event on the first Friday in October, Diversity Awareness Month. It was founded by Dr. Leo Parvis and Julie K. Parvis.
Dr. Leo Parvis teaches cultural diversity at Dunwoody College of Technology. He serves on the Board of the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions, and the Chaska (Minnesota) Human Rights Commission. Julie K. Parvis, is an award-winning marketing diva and writer who is an overweight Lutheran, with a Scandinavian, Native American, Basque, Irish, English (and probably more!).
