My Nonprofit Reviews
Howard Ross
Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA
I have been a professional diversity consultant for 25 years, and recently served as the Professor of Diversity in Residence at Bennett College for Women and I have to say that the OUDC program is, quite simply, the best of it's kind that I have veer seen. OUDC raises the bar for its participants far beyond simply exposing them to their shared history, it develops true leadership capability and genuinely inspires students to become active agents of change in their communities. I have been with the students and also had some of them work with my company after they have emerged from the program and they are profoundly impacted in the most positive of ways.
