Washburn In A Diverse Classroom

The concept of diversity has allowed me to learn about other identities and the importance of representation. My experiences and exposure on campus have introduced me to diverse perspectives, religions, sexualities, and cultural members of our community. My roommate during my sophomore year was Jewish, and actively participated in Jewish traditions. Through our conversation

Until I came to Carolina I did not have a true understanding of diversity and how everyone has uniqueness that we embrace. Coming into a university with a variety of people, have learned many things that was not apparent to me while I

I don’t believe that diversity in Washburn has changed the way I act or think because I've always been in a somewhat diverse environment my whole life. Growing up I've always been taught to respect other cultures and not to see difference as a bad thing. I do like the diverse environment all together though because I think it does affect the way others think about it. If you've never been in a culturally diverse environment before, then how might it impact the way you act? Especially in the workplace. So I think that it's good to have people around it now rather than later when it might matter even more how they act about

In a world that is becoming increasingly dynamic and interconnected where each of us are becoming more dependent on each other, diversity is a crucial element of life. Never in human history have students had available to them the

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,

I was very excited when I saw this essay prompt because diversity is actually one of the main criteria that drew me into NC State. All throughout my schooling life, for as long as I can remember, I never attended any schools that were diverse. There was always one extremely predominant race or gender, and it’s something that truly disturbed me. I am excited to attend a college that is so diverse in many aspects, that I will be able to benefit from in multiple different ways. I will be able to learn and understand new perspectives which will help me gain an open mind and heart to be able to accept different kinds of people. I will be able to familiarize myself with different backgrounds and cultures, because I am so accustomed to my own, I

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

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 is more than a racial term. While we are at a school that has a high concentration of nursing and engineering majors, we also live in a city that thrives on the arts. This encourages both mindsets to coexist together in a symbiotic relationship, both benefiting each other. Diversity also plays into a cultural aspect. Different cultures come together at the University of Louisiana to create an overall culture that focuses on the aspect of family. While there is a strong sense of Cajun culture, as embraced by the city of Lafayette and of the university as a whole, this does not drown a sense of pride of different cultures existing together, encouraging individuality in a community context.

Diversity is valued at Washburn University for the simple fact that it encourages a thriving intellectual environment. This opens the space for an abundance of new and innovative thoughts. The most important line in the diversity statement is the listing of all the different ways a person can be different and unique. All these differences bring in fresh ideas and various points of view allowing us ourselves to become more cultured. Scholars must have and support diversity simply for the need to keep an open mind. If you can’t accept the differences of those who surround you how can you hope to learn anything worthwhile?

I believe that "Diversity" plays important roles in our lives. Without diversity, we cannot widen our field of view. Diversity helps us to open up our eyes and our world. From reading the essay "How diversity makes us smarter", written by Katherine W Phillips, I learned that there are some negative effects brought up by the social diversity where dialog of inclusion is advanced, but mostly diversity is something that has positive effect in our society and even individual. I could also reflect and make connection with my experience of moving from non diverse community to diverse community.

Understanding diversity is an important matter for us all to understand as a society to help promote a more generous world

Diversity is important to me because having a campus full of people with different perspectives and experiences would allow students to think independently together to add richness to Ohio State University. My community and school did not consist of students from different races, religions, and sexuality. For this reason, people would judge if you did not “fit in”. As an African American myself, I receive comments that I did not act like my race since I tried not to engage in the cliques within my school.

Within the core of many educational institutions, diversity is a commercial tacit. While every institution cannot offer the same kind of diversity, the endorsement of such exists through various definitions. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges define diversity through the various classes: race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, disability, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and age (“Statement on Diversity”)

Diversity allows new ideas and opinions to be formed. With a class of only 27 people, we have some very diverse backgrounds. Some people are from large urban areas like Los Angeles and others are from small towns on the coast of Washington. Also, many students are from the suburbs. Not only are these students from different places, they are all
