Taking into account the growing amount of diversity in Luther College’s student body population, I believe it would be tremendous feat for the college to take advantage of it’s opportunity to be leaders in the collegiate world by educating it’s faculty and staff on how to effectively welcome students of diverse populations. This could be achieved by first having workshops required for all faculty and staff on how to provide safe classroom and work settings to students of diverse races, ethnicities, geographical locations, gender and sexual orientations. To provide these safe environments faculty and staff could be shown more suitable ways to communicate with students so that they don’t feel singled out, offended, or of less importance than

The Diversity Achievement Program is a 2 part program sponsored by the office of Diversity & Inclusion designed to provide support for students from underrepresented populations. This program recognizes the challenges of attending Marietta College, a Predominantly White Institution located in Washington County, Ohio. This program prepares students to confront a variety of challenges they may face while on campus and in the community. The primary goal is to ensure each student is successful academically, personally, socially, and professionally. To achieve this mission, the transition program, mentoring program, and tutoring programs have been created.
South Portland Community College (SPCC) is located in the primarily White state of Maine. Southern Maine is more racially diverse than the rest of Maine, but still has only a 15% non-White population. Of the over 6,000 students enrolled at SPCC, less than 20% identify as non-White, and just 6% are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Queer (LGBTQ+) identified. To address the diverse needs of these traditionally marginalized student populations on campus, over the last several decades SPCC administrators, faculty, and students created the Office of Multicultural Student Life (OMSL) and the Spectrum Center for Gender and Sexual Diversity (the Spectrum Center).

Equality and Diversity is very important in all aspects of our lives not just at Oaklands College. We live in an increasingly diverse society, so must be able to respond appropriately and sensitively. This means you should treat everyone as an individual. To treat people fairly we do not always treat everyone the same. Irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, nationality, socio-economic background, age or religion, they will all be treated equal by me and I would not allow other learners to treat each other disrespectfully.
Here at The University of Texas at Austin, we embrace and encourage diversity in many forms, striving to create an inclusive community that fosters an open and supportive learning, teaching and working environment. Our strength as a university draws from our wide range of perspectives and experiences, and we support a free exchange of ideas alongside thoughtful consideration of our differences. The UT Austin Division of Diversity and Community Engagement (DDCE) offers more than 40 programs and initiatives that support this vision, strengthening diversity on campus and in communities across the state, all while helping to shape the future leaders of Texas and the world
When I used to think of Liberty University, I immediately thought of the largest Christian university in the world. I thought of the innovative campus and the plethora of degree options. I thought of The Vines Center and the convocations housed there with diverse speakers students get the privilege of listening to. A distinct Nursing degree was never a forethought for me until I toured the school of nursing and talked to the staff about the program and all it had to offer. “Training Champions for Christ” has been Liberty’s moto since it’s creation in 1971 and that is exactly what they do for students in any field, including nursing. The university cultivates an strong environment for students to grow in their faith while also challenging them
Growing up in a multiracial, multicultural household I have been fortunate enough to experience diversity at a young age. NC State’s diverse campus would expose me to different cultures, religions, and ethnic groups, all focused on enhancing the legacy of NC State. Exposure to these different lifestyles would increase my knowledge about different issues minorities from around the world have been faced with. The diversity would allow me to help implement new ways of increasing diversity throughout society, and college campuses, allowing NC State to be a model for the world. Campus diversity is important in making sure all students are comfortable in their learning environment. Being able to share my life experiences and background would allow
A haunting topic that has been around the Calvin College community for some years now is the college’s library hours on Sundays. Ever since its foundation in 1876, Calvin College has its library close on Sundays primarily because of its derivation from the CRC denomination. The college, as a Christian institution strongly believe in “keeping the sabbath day holy” as stated in Exodus 20. And, as a higher education institution, the college believe in providing students with resources that are necessary for success while at the college and beyond (Calvin 1). They hold these beliefs equally, amongst many others, to be at the very core of their values as a Christian institution.
The Theme Of Courage “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are”(E.E Cummings). Courage is a crucial theme in Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee indicates that real courage is the ability to stand up for what one believes in even in fear. Although courage is misinterpreted by the narrator Jean Louise Finch (Scout) and her older brother Jeremy Finch (Jem) near the beginning of the novel, they soon come to understand what real courage really is.
Thirdly, they point out that a diverse student body better prepares college students to interact and work with individuals of diverse backgrounds in the future. By creating an environment where students can be exposed to a racially diverse group of people, their interactions further reduce prejudice and misconceptions about race (Grutter v. Bollinger, 2003). The amicus brief reveals that race is an inseparable component of an applicant 's’ experiences and should not be excluded from the admission officers’ consideration.
The Lambert Project promotes racial harmony through school outreach efforts by our eight core leaders. One month, we decided to all talk to a stranger of different backgrounds than ourselves, and retell the story next meeting. It was jaw-dropping to hear the stories other students were telling, and the effect it had on the receiving stranger. our goal is to one day have every student in our school feel comfortable in doing the same. Also, we have started holding meetings in our school media center, where we select students based off of a stratified sample, in order to use a sample that accurately represents the school population fairly, and hold discussions during lunch about what the ideal Lambert family would look like. This promotes unity and verbal representation within the student body.
Coming from a mid-size predominately white institution in a small town in Indiana, I have been fortunate to gain some great experience working with students of all kinds. During my second year at Indiana State University, I found my passion to work heavily with college students; so I immediately got involved with the Office of Residential Life at ISU. It challenged, created room for growth as a professional, and the ability to work students that are different from myself. One thing that challenged me the most is the different perspectives that my first year students brought to my floor community, although it may have not been pleasant one-hundred percent of the time, but it open of doors to build healthy, long-lasting relationship, not only
Without communication and interaction, students of different ethnicities have only decades of discrimination and racial profiling to apprehend each other by. A problem contributing to this is that, even though colleges have done a good job at gathering students of different ethnic groups, they have failed at giving them a diverse educational experience. This can only be done by establishing connectivity and interaction among them. This is a situation that must be addressed because it can lead to serious problems between student groups, both physical through confrontations among students and mental through verbal abuse. This dilemma is mentioned in Frank Bruni’s article when he says “Some students’ insistence not just that their viewpoints be
“How could they outsmart the best of my Owsla?’” He twitched his nose at the thought of it.
