The document discusses the Human Library, an initiative that conducts 10-15 minute video interviews with students to share their stories. The interviews are intended to provide a more complete picture of the diverse student population and experiences. They would be archived and available online. The initiative aims to create meaningful dialogue, assess its impact, and support programs through anecdotal evidence and student feedback. It also hopes to influence recruitment, retention, policy and address stereotypes.
