Hi!

We had thought of diversity of learning styles as well as various
abled-nesses. I think, as of Tuesday anyway, we were defining diversity
pretty broadly as race, religion, political orientation, sexuality,
socio-economic status, gender, ethnic group - just about anything that
makes us human.

Take care,
