A diverse campus enhances the educational experience.
Diversity challenges cultural norms and makes us think. Being a part of a diverse campus helps students to communicate more effectively with an increased awareness and sensitivity to those around them.
Diversity strengthens the community and prepares students for the workforce in a complex, pluralistic society. It helps students to judge on character and accomplishments.
"Insight, I believe, refers to the depth of understanding that comes by setting experiences, yours and mine, familiar and exotic, new and old, side by side, learning by letting them speak to one another.”
Mary Catherine Bateson
