Significant commitment to citizenship through public service, school activities, community involvement, leadership and/or family. I can see myself supporting the multicultural environment within University of Georgia fully throughout my years there. I see myself as an open-minded student that welcomes and seeks cultural diversity everywhere and in almost anything I participate in. In fact, part of my criteria for choosing colleges was if the college of interest had a good level of diversity in terms of students, clubs and embraced various cultures, then I would consider it for application. I find it an expectation rather than an extra to be exposed to multicultural environments because my high school and my family are rich in diversity. At home, I am given a strong sense of my mainly Irish Catholic, and my grandparents tell me a lot about great-grandfathers and other relatives of mine that were of Irish, English and French descent. It was though my social experiences out of my home that I gradually found and sought out more multicultural knowledge. There are many clubs and groups within my high school that are culturally …show more content…
Aside from learning more about these cultures, I am able to use my newfound knowledge and teach or communicate with other people outside of my original cultural environment – especially since I am going out of state for college. With this being said, I am able to offer support for University of Georgia multicultural by making friends of all races, backgrounds and sexual orientations, learn about his or her customs from different regions of the world, and participate in cultural events. And although I have not held a leadership role in any of the clubs in my school, I could be able to do so within the clubs in
Educational institutions that promote multiculturalism are beneficial, in that they prepare students for the increasing diversity in the workplace. An environment with diversity establishes values and builds character. It assists students in accepting and understanding the cultures to which their acquaintances belong to, as well as broadening their knowledge of the world.
There are many valuable aspects to living in a diverse community, but the most valuable to me is the wide range of perspectives on world problems, and local situations. With a more diverse student body, People will bring new insights and ideas that others may not have thought of. It can also educate people about cultures, traditions, and backgrounds other than my own. This can be very helpful because with the knowledge of another culture,
America had a huge industrial revolution in the late 1800’s. The process was slow, but many changes were made. Americans found it more profitable to make a living on a farm. There were many changes in our nation like new technology, a lot of immigrants into our country , and different/new views on our government. All of these factors helped to promote a huge industrial revolution.
Now that I have experienced a Historically Black University, I would like to broaden my horizon and be in a more diverse community. In the real world, diversity is not just racial but it also includes socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, gender and other identities. I will have to work with diverse crowds with the field that I am trying to enter. If accepted into this Master’s program, I will be the first person in my family to pursue and obtain a Master’s degree. I am also the first person on both my mother and father’s side to complete a Bachelor’s and/or Associate
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
From growing up in Fayetteville and Sneads Ferry, North Carolina I have not experienced much diversity. The person from whom I had to learn about different cultures and people was my mother. She is an attorney who has worked in public service and experiences peoples from different cultures, races, and creeds daily. My mother taught me not to judge people based on outside appearances but rather than on inside values. From my mother, I learned how to appreciate the fact that every person has their own talents and specialties. Each person has their own preference and opinion and that should be respected as long as it does not cause harm to another. By learning these values from my mom, I believe that I would be a great candidate for Hollins University.
Some of these benefits include: promoting the understanding of different cultures, allowing students to be part of an environment where ethnic, racial, and geographic stereotypes are broken down, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for students of all races where they don’t feel like spokespersons for their race. Student diversity in a public University allows students to experience other cultures, and to be exposed to a variety of different viewpoints and ideas. By interacting with individuals of all backgrounds, students would be better prepared to face the obstacles that arise with the diverse workforce.

Some of my extracurricular involvements include interning with Junior Achievement of Delaware in their Marketing & Events department and working as the National Social Media Coordinator for my Fraternity Pi Alpha Phi Fraternity, Inc. My time spent managing the National Social Media accounts with Pi Alpha Phi Fraternity, Inc. produced noticeable personal growth in areas such as professionalism, time management, and the need for cultural awareness. These values were essential to not only my success but also our Fraternity’s visibility and reach on outlets such as the Presidential Blog on WordPress, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The time I have spent studying my culture has helped mold me into a worker that is willing to research and share information and stories to help fight for greater ethnic representation and visibility.
The ability to call college my home, especially when I am far from home, is pivotal in my college decision. From conversations I have had with Michigan students and alumni, the importance of the diverse population is stressed. Michigan delivers a comfortable environment where the staff and peers are friendly. This leads to the creation of a community where people are not afraid to try new things and reach out if needed. This culture is created through many groups and clubs available at the LSA. For instance, the University of Michigan gives a way for students to find people who share the same interests as them. From debates to the cultural shows; there is always an activity to appeal to people of different backgrounds and interests thus I will always feel
MasterCard has also partnered up with other minority-focused organizations, such as Women 2.0, which is focused on connecting talented women in technology to existing entrepreneurs (6). The relationship between Women 2.0 and MasterCard will help create communities of innovative women in technology, and to help them cultivate future leaders of these women and provide continuous support through their careers (6).
As a member of several clubs and organizations, I have always valued the wide range of people you can find within the walls of my high school. If you walk into my Physics lab, you will find me collaborating with a dancer strongly involved in his cultural heritage and a volleyball player in the engineering academy. If you come to my Calculus class, you will see me calculating derivatives with a football player, a snowboarder, a National Honor Society officer, and a painter. The word “diversity” is often used to describe a cross-cultural population, but it is so much more than that. At Bartlett High School, students originate from hundreds of different cultures, with an abundance interests, and participate together in an assortment of activities.
Many people see the goal of diversity and inclusion as having the "correct" numbers of people from different groups. But having a community with the "correct" numbers or "enough" different people means nothing without the willingness to empathize with one another. As a hispanic woman who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, I often feel like I am just another number. But my background means more than that -- in acknowledging the obstacles I have faced alongside the many privileges I have been granted, I have learned the importance of empathizing with all people. At NC State, I will strengthen campus diversity not being a number, but by truly seeking to understand and connect with those around me.
One of many aspects that I look for in school is the cultural appreciations and value of individuals. My intended major is an International Studies, which requires me to broaden my views and think beyond what we see. So when I was looking through the schools, the George Washington University definitely captured my attention. The George Washington University is one of the most diverse school in the United States and encourages many students to join the community. I was very thrilled to see the cultural events and volunteer activities are the priorities in school, because I always look out for an opportunity to help the community. I am more than willing to be part of the Nashman Center and serve for others.
