It requires willingness to “walk a mile in my shoes,” as Joe South captured so well in his hit song of 1969. And Danyelle Smith ’14 agrees, saying that one way to help people understand different perspectives is to role-play. “When you put people in different roles, they are more likely to be at least empathetic to how others may be hurt or offended,” she says. Smith was selected to serve as a Student Coordinator of Peer Education (or SCOPE) in the College’s new peer-education program called Kaleidoscope, which focuses on issues of multiculturalism, equity, and social justice. She’s among 21 SCOPEs who are working to raise awareness, promote inclusiveness, and prompt genuine celebration of differences across campus.
