Welcome to the Diversity Council!

This club is a spring activity for students who are interested in crossing social barriers and trying something new. Anyone can participate in the club's activities! We will plan school-wide activities such as Diversity Week and advisory materials that analyze “normal” barriers between groups, help celebrate our diversity, and promote unity, harmony and mutual understanding.   We participate in events sponsored by Kean University’s Diversity Council of New Jersey—a performance on diversity in the winter plus a conference for middle school students from around the state in the spring—as well as plan school-wide activities such as Multicultural New Year’s and Diversity Week. These events not only focus on diversity issues, but also allow the students to learn essential “life skills” such as leadership, project planning, teamwork and organization. We create advisory materials that analyze “normal” barriers between groups, help celebrate diversity, and promote unity, harmony and mutual understanding. We meet on a weekly basis to discuss prejudice and diversity issues at Mt. Pleasant Middle School and in the lives of our students.     Advisor: Ms. Julie Nersesian Email: jnersesian@livingston.org
