I believe diversity is critical for university settings and is necessary for academic success!

I believe the availability of resources to support students from different backgrounds and ethnicity is significant to attract and retain students, particularly first-generation college students and students whose high school education may have been negatively affected by their school district. In addition, students’ facilities such as online courses and free on-campus English courses are significant opportunities for achieving a diverse and successful program.
