Recognizing and appreciating diverse perspectives leads to more flexibility, more productivity, more creative problem-solving, better decision-making, and an enhanced ability to meet the needs of a multi-faceted employee, student, and patient population. Moreover, diversity in a learning environment enriches cross-cultural understanding and produces livelier, more spirited, more enlightening and interesting interactions among students and faculty. Student body diversity promotes a variety of learning outcomes and better prepares students for success in an increasingly diverse workforce and society.
