The CampusGrüv team -- Ron Idoko (pictured left) and Saket Rajprohat (pictured right) -- at the Randall Family Big Idea Competition. Diversity and inclusion and its effects around the world have become focal points for conversations and structural change in many organizations lately. Generally, we all agree that we should be inclusive of all types of people and build our work on a diverse foundation to give it strength, but this is something that I had questioned at one point. Of course, it is wrong to discriminate - but it seems natural to believe that we just get along better with people who think like us, act like us, and talk like us. Often though, even though it may sometimes be easier to get the work done, the ending result turns out to be a poor version of the product that could have been. When your work is not built on an inclusive foundation, it fails to reach the people that could benefit from it the most. This is something I have come to learn in my time working on CampusGrüv.
