As James laid out in his presentation, having a diverse student body not only allows for a more open minded community when it comes to civil issues, but also <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-91 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/college-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"college\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/college-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/college.jpg 686w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/>produces better students and better leaders, both very important things that universities are striving to do. With racial issues being such a large influence on many large issues of today, any organization that strives to bring the most people into the most enlightened view about race is doing a good thing. This, combined with proven increases in academic<br \/>\nsuccess on diverse campuses leaves very little room for doubt that having diverse campuses is beneficial to everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>I went to a fairly non-diverse high school, so\u00a0Santa Clara has been a greater step into diversity for me. Other students may come from more diverse schools and by attending Santa\u00a0Clara, are stepping into a less diverse community. Either way, we need to recognize the need for diversity and strive to create a community where everyone has equal opportunity in everything, and is not held back or looked down upon because of their ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nate Miller<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In class today, we gave our presentations for our first research assignment.
