Questions About Diversity

• What do we mean when we talk about diversity in college?

  The root word of diversity is from the Latin, "diversus" which means "various". We use it today to describe a mixture of people, traditions, cultures and ideas. Diversity can be a huge benefit to students, as it not only exposes them to new ways of thinking, it prepares them for the varied workforce of tomorrow, as well as inspires innovation and creativity.

• Is Johns Hopkins supporting and attracting students from all economic backgrounds?

  Schools with otherwise excellent racial and ethnic diversity still may not be diverse when it comes to other factors, such as income levels. Get a better idea of how Johns Hopkins supports low-income students by visiting the Financial Aid Page.
