Washburn University has always been proud of having diversity since it first opened its doors to the public 151 years ago. If you are to look around campus many are able to see how much diversity is valued by the campus as a whole, they know everyone is different and each person has their own story to tell. If a university made it where no one is allowed to talk about where they came before and how they ended up where they are in life. what is the point of being proud of who you are? For me, it is important for each person to be proud of the person who they are because they could have had to overcome so much in life to make it to this point of being an undergraduate.
The value of diversity at Washburn University has been something that has always been there since the first day it opened its doors to the public, and most can say it will be there forever. While reading the two sources for this paper, the website had a diversity statement with good information about the university’s beliefs. Out of the statement, I think the most important part talks about as stated by Dr. Farley “ Diversity in its broadest sense makes our world interesting and vibrant”. To me personally, this is the most important part because it says how no matter where you go in life diversity will be there. No two people are the same and the more you are around that and it shows it works for more in the long run in knowing it is good to be different. By saying this I would say that I agree and support
Diversity teaches us to accept. I have lived in a very diverse community for much of my life. Highland Park consists of a lot of white people, but also there are a lot of Mexican immigrants. In the high school the races tend to separate themselves, but we also teach each other about our cultures and we learn a lot from each other. Many people have experienced diversity. They learn so much and become more understanding and accepting of other people because they have seen much of their
Southern Illinois University- Edwardsville is a school that supports diversity. I would recommend partnering with them.
Diversity is a term known for, "variety." To be diverse is to have a range of different types of people all in one place. Different types of people can range from their race, background, social class, age, or religion. Those are just a few examples that can separate a person from others. To be aware of diversity around you is something everyone should take note of. Many people may not realize that they live in such a diverse world that they do not know how to cope with someone when they do find someone with a different background than they do. Washburn University has a very diverse population and Washburn and most of the students and faculty are aware of this and take great pride in it. Washburn University is not the biggest college and it
Southeast Missouri State University currently has 12 residence halls, two of which are currently community style the rest are suite style. The university currently is a home to over twenty-eight hundred students during the fall and spring semesters. Dr. Carlos Vargas-Aburto soon to be inducted on May 5th of 2016 has taken his position head on so far really promoting the diversity that is on the campus. A problem that the university is currently facing is diversity opportunities in the residence halls. The problem being that although the university promotes its diversity, it is not shown in the residence halls. Students are being forced to live with other students that are classified at their birth genders, meaning that only males can live with
Boston University, though taking measures to diversify its community since 2014, has a long road of work ahead campus-wide, according to its spokesperson and a Boston city councilor who subpoenaed the school’s president in 2014 to discuss diversity.
Intrigued by the growing opportunities at Queen’s Commerce, I decided to e-mail professors and call current students to gain a comprehensive understanding of what it is truly like to be in the prestigious program. With each conversation, I knew that embracing the university’s lively culture through my active involvement within the tight-knit community is where I would leave my mark. From the tricolour uniforms to the completely consumer-waste free tea room, Queen’s University not only accepts diversity – it celebrates diversity. As the president of my high school’s entrepreneurship club, I appreciate the powers of social learning. By joining clubs and sharing ideas with bright, like-minded individuals, I can learn concepts that could never
“I love it,...” and, “It is one of the best public colleges” are some comments that I hear from any student who goes to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The academics, the community focus and the emphasis on diversity at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are a few of the reasons why I am applying here.
The world is filled different cultures, races and ethnicities, and it is crucial that our higher education institutions reflect this diversity. Representation matters. We are a country filled with diverse cultures all of which whom need to be represented. The purpose of this literature review is to explain why and how diversity in a higher education setting is important. Students learn better in such an environment and are better prepared to become active participants in our pluralistic, democratic society once they leave school Diversity is not only important among the student population but also within college curriculum. It is an important issue regardless of the setting. However, when it is applied it to a place where people come to learn,
Coming from a diverse background has allowed me to understand the importance of diversity in a school, whether it be diversity in culture, experiences, activities, or talents. Discovering that Boston University’s undergraduates come from over 100 different countries drew me in right away. Diversity is important in a school because it allows students to learn from one another and share their unique experiences, and being a student at Boston University will allow me to be a part of that amazing diversity. Another prospect that excites me about Boston University is the more than 100 study abroad and internship programs throughout the world. Going to Bolivia through my high school has allowed me to recognize the importance of studying abroad in
As a person and as a student, diversity is important to me. Not just diversity in ethnicity, but also in opinions. I long to be in a community where there is diversity in perspectives and Boston University’s community exemplifies this.
I am currently a Junior at University of Central Florida. From the looks of it I am rather impressed with the scene. Their are several fun things to get into. The Greek life, sports, concerts, and anything else that you casn think of. There is a huge amount of diversity on the campus. All types of backgrounds stay on the campus and help me feel much more comfortarable. The teachers and students are both very nice to me and are willing to give a helping hand. The campus is also very clean and well kept after showing that are poeple who care. I do not have that many complains since there is always something to do. There are concerst abd special events to go to and they are usually very cheap. There are several computer labs and study areas
Diversity in a campus was an important factor when I was applying to college. I want to attend a college where I can experience several different walks of life. Yet, I know that I can only contribute so much to the overall campus diversity. I am a white woman from a middle class family, daughter of heterosexual parents. However, I am a part of the LGBT+ community, more specifically a part of the A in LGBTQIA. The A stands for asexual, and I identify as panromantic asexual, meaning that I feel romantic attraction to all but not a sexual attraction. Most people don’t believe that being asexual is a real thing, it is not one of the more talked about aspects of the community. So if I am accepted to NC State I would help bring a voice to an often
In all honesty, I have struggled with the term “diversity” for quite some time now. Before going to college, I lived in a very white, small, conservative, pull yourself up by your boot straps town. When I came to terms with my sexual identity in high school and started familiarizing myself with “diversity”, I thought I knew it all. I was one of the only gay people in my high school. To no surprise, little ol’ me was completely wrong. College was a whole new world for me to learn from. However, it was also a time for me to unlearn my problematic ways from my upbringing. After getting involved during my undergraduate experience and connecting to numerous departments on campus, I heard “diversity” being thrown around left and right by student
Having never left the confines of New York City for more than a week or two at a time, there is a certain fear I have of leaving this comfort for college. There are aspects of life away from home that I can prepare for: new friends, a new city, new culture, etc. But, there are certain things no amount of preparation can get me ready for. One such aspect that I was concerned about was diversity of the college community, both on and off campus. Coming from a “cultural melting pot,” would I be able to adjust to little diversity elsewhere?
