Adelphi University Diversity: How Diverse is it, Really?

Why Diversity Matters

It is likely you have heard that diversity is critical to the total college experience, but what do we mean when we speak about diversity?

Largely speaking, diversity is the word we use to describe a mixture of people and ideas, and the traditions, belief systems and cultures that come with them.

How does this translate to the college experience?

When most students seek diversity on a college campus, what they are actually seeking are opportunities to express themselves and find community with others who believe the same way, as well as opportunities to learn from those from different cultures and backgrounds.

The university years provide a unique opportunity for students to have direct exposure to other backgrounds and cultures. Students should look for a college administration that is not only promoting diversity institutionally, but also fostering a climate where students can exchange differing perspectives and ideas in meaningful and positive ways.
