Strategy: Incorporating Fibers of Multiculturalism
Vista Hispano shares a great post regarding the “Fibers of Multiculturalism” on its blog. Here again, as in earlier posts, much of what this blog post discusses can easily be used as a learning opportunity for employers looking to expand their Hispanic college recruiting efforts. Here are the three main ideas that I think can be incorporated into any Hispanic college recruitment strategy:
Recognition – Understanding that various cultures in our society offer a wealth of positive and diverse elements that can help further the health and quality of life in America.
Participation – Make an effort to join the conversations and participate in activities that allow for a multicultural society.
Amplification – Where the synergy takes place and allows for increased assimilation and diversity.
I’ve written about each of these concepts at different times through out this blog – but their blog post does a great job of reinforcing these ideas in short and simple way. Thanks for sharing!
Miguel, thanks for the mention. You make a great point about the integration of these steps into a college recruitment strategy. As part of a Latino club in college, we were extremely successful in using traditional elements of the Latino culture to spark interest in events that helped raise funds for scholarships. Once we recognize the importance of these cultural variables, the possibilities are plentiful.
Jose thanks for the feedback and your blog post. I always appreciate leveraging ideas from other sources and environments. Cultural elements is one of those themes that be applied to a wide variety of industries and situations. Appreciate your work. Miguel
