CENTER FOR STUDENT DIVERSITY

Digital Storytelling

Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling.  Digital Stories derive their power by weaving images, music, narrative & voice together, thereby giving deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences, and insights.

Digital Storytelling is a relatively new educational tool.  Utilizing Digital Storytelling to support campus diversity is a truly vanguard use of this learning model.

Each fall, the Center for Student Diversity hosts this unique program to share personal stories created by our students in order to teach  more about identity, culture, and diversity.
