A WORD FROM DIVERSITY & DISTINCTION EDITOR MIKE LUO:

Diversity & Distinction magazine is Harvard-Radcliffe's only publication devoted to addressing the entire Harvard community on issues of diversity and multiculturalism in the broadest sense--including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion and physical disability. D& D is the publication for students to learn more about each other. It provides a forum for those who do not have a consistent forum to speak in to let their experiences be known.

Diversity & Distinction magazine turned one year old in April 1996. We have put out two issues this past year, and a third is scheduled in this month. The focus in this next issue will be the diversity of religion. The first two issues were received with much acclaim by students, faculty, and alumni alike. Our goal is that D& D will become a major force of understanding and unity and an institution at Harvard for years to come.

The magazine is staffed entirely by Harvard undergraduate students. We publish quarterly and are distributed to all undergraduate doors, the Law School, Graduate School of Education, and the Science Center.
