Featured JSC Employees for Diversity Months

Diversity Month will come alive through individual and personal accounts and real stories around different histories and heritages.  Through exploration of the many diverse heritages, cultures, and histories of people around us, we can discover new ways of thinking. We can celebrate our similarities and differences. We can learn how to interact with the diversity of people at JSC and in our careers.
