Biology major Shannon Allport is a champion of diversity on campus.

She is, among other things, a student government representative on President Powers’ Student Advisory Council, an employee in the Office of the Vice President for Diversity and Community Engagement, a past president of Multicultural Students in Natural Sciences (MINS), and the former chair of the College of Natural Sciences Aspire! Banquet.

Alongside all this public service, however, there’s also a more personal story of what “diversity” means to Shannon. This audio slide show, featuring images from university photographer Marsha Miller, is a glimpse into that story.
