This project addresses the lack of experience working with international and LGBTQ students through a scavenger hunt event fostering interaction. Led by faculty, it aims to reduce bias, harassment, and discrimination. The event helps students gain multicultural exposure and promotes acceptance within the business community while respecting individuality. Funding, student recruitment, and faculty compensation are crucial for implementation.
