When discussing the subject of diversity, many instructors of undergraduate business courses - especially principles of international business and management - may wish to engage students in a more experiential manner with the topic. This paper provides an instructional resource for discussing diversity with undergraduate students. Presented are five activities that offer a safe, effective way to engage students with the subject. One exercise explores the meaning behind names, another ties diversity to the four functions of management, a third uses a series of questions to enable students to understand how diverse their class is, a fourth facilitates an understanding of the breadth of the word diversity, and finally one exercise uses cultural immersion to foster an understanding of diversity. This case study has been peer reviewed by the editorial board of the Journal of International Business Education (JIBE).
