• Is Diversity Important to NHSC?

  Diversity can be promoted by the university in several ways. First, institutions should be making an effort to hire a varied faculty to nurture students. But the school should also be doing the best they can to foster substantial connections between people from different backgrounds. This prevents students and faculty from self-segregating and promotes positive connections.
