The Importance Of Diversity At Boston University

Racial diversity is something that is often discussed on college campuses. As a student who self-identifies as a minority in more ways than one I often feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the subject of racism and race. However, often times when these issue are discussed I learn something new; this was the case when reading the articles this week. This week’s articles examined the issue of race from different perspectives. This allowed me to re-examine the issue in a fuller manner; it also allowed me to question some of my own notions that I hadn’t really challenged before.

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

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.

Diversity on college campuses has increased, which has let people assume that racism decreased and acceptance expanded gradually, however minorities still face prejudice and discrimination. Harvard University presented a research where they gathered college students from 4 particular public universities and questioned them about the social behavior they have experienced or witnessed. In the contrary, they discovered that college students have encountered racist comments or negative facial expressions towards them from Caucasians (Caplan, page 31). This has led to propositions for instance, improving social conduct between children in school, more gratification in regard to one’s culture and positive outlook toward the culture of others because America’s obsession with race and racial attitudes continues to affect individuals emotionally. It is urgent to spread diversity at a younger stage of life, for upcoming children that are starting school. The need of role models around the nation is necessary and relevant to help multicultural education in the schools. Diversity has become significant since people all over the country are passionate about others knowing where they come from and making it possible of a more diverse society in the future.

Emphasized in 10 Reasons Why We Need Diversity on College Campuses is the expansion and growth of ethnic groups in America and the failure of universities to represent the population on their campus; America’s future workforce will be soon comprised of people of minority groups (Kerby). The county’s workforce will be inferior to other advanced countries if colleges don’t work to provide higher education for minority groups. By strengthening individual people, the society is collectively stronger. In order for this to happen, universities need to be focused on diversity in

I did not have a hard time finding an article on community colleges; this one came right to me. However, as the author points out, there is a great deal of research missing on the community college level. Taylor (2015) states, “Because we have little research on LGBTQ students in the community college context (Leider, 2012; Zamani-Gallaher & Choudhuri, 2011), the vast majority of the research and empirical evidence is based on the 4-year context” (Taylor, 2015, p. 60).

Sophia Kerby speaks out about why we need diversity on college campuses. She uses research on Fisher Vs University of Texas to challenge college and universities to make change in their admission policies. Kerby states, “If the Court bars the use of race in admissions, it will erase 50 years of progress and threaten universities’ attempts to make college campuses more diverse and inclusive” (Kerby, 2012). Kerby understands that every college and university cannot use race as a way help with diversity in intuitions. So, it’s important as a country that we continue to allow equal opportunity to higher education base on fairness to all. Kerby has 10 interesting reason why we need diversity on campuses for all students. One of the ten reason are

Diversity week is a week-long program held by the university of Akron. This program is organized by groups on campus. The purpose is to educate college students the diverse races, cultures, genders, ages, sexual differences, social and economic status in our society today. I had the opportunity to attend the “Education Abroad: Your Door to the world” session. In this activity, we talked about the different opportunities associated with studying abroad. Some of these opportunities are getting to launch your career, make long life friends and family, and personal development and growth in your life.

Diversity is a major quality that attracts me to Northwestern. It is important for me to be surrounded by different backgrounds, experiences and outlooks. The diversity at Northwestern is shown in the types of organizations and programs available to students. Another quality is what makes Northwestern an excellent university. Underneath their mission statement, its states, “Northwestern is committed to excellent teaching, innovative research and the personal and intellectual growth of its students in a diverse academic community.” A university that cares about their students’ success and takes pride in their mission to provide the greatest education is a crucial aspect on why I want to attend to Northwestern.

Diversity is one of the many values that Boston College will expose me to. Through studying abroad, I will be able to follow a goal of traveling the world while

I would like to open by identifying leadership theories that fit me the best. Honestly I believe all three fit me and I will begin with a brief backstory to explain why. Prior to coming to the University of Toledo I spent 17.5 years working for the Lucas County Juvenile Court specifically at the Lucas County Youth Treatment Center where our charge was to save the taxpayers of Lucas money by lowering the amount of youth who were committed to the Department of Youth Services in Columbus (Juvenile Prison). Our program focused on arming offending youth with the skills to re-orient safely back into the Lucas County Community. We could house 44 youth 36 male, 12 female at maximum capacity

I propose a statue for Broward College Central campus that celebrates diversity. The Broward College's student body represents more than 180 different countries. With so many cultural influences, Broward College is what would be described as a “melting pot.” The diversity of Broward College allows for a more interesting learning experience. How an individual thinks is based on his/hers background, experiences, and influences. With over 180 different cultural backgrounds here, there is no one way of thinking. The diversity at Broward College assists its students’ long after their educational careers. With so many different backgrounds, so many different ways of thinking, there has to be a high level of tolerance among students. This is a key

In a Nutshell: Across the country, different institutions have set goals to diversify their faculty population. Campuses such as Boston College and the University of California Riverside shared strategies they have employed to hire more faculty members from underrepresented minority groups. These strategies are not focused on numeral targets or costly initiatives. By implementing these strategies in 2016, Boston College had 39 (46%) tenure-track, and tenured faculty who were from minority backgrounds, and University of California Riverside had 35 (20%) new underrepresented-minority faculty.

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

A diverse student body is really important to me and is a prime factor in my decision of choosing where to apply for medical school. Our society today is a multicultural one with diverse patient populations. To account for this trend, it is paramount that we graduate physicians that are more culturally aware and culturally sensitive to these issues. Having a diverse student body also facilitates a good learning environment where we can learn from each other's unique experiences.
