The Importance of Diversity in Student Development

The Division of Student Development is committed to student and staff diversity and value the educational benefits that flow from such diversity. In order to promote a diverse community that is supportive of all students the Division seeks student affairs leaders that reflect the diversity of our student population as well as the broader society. Towards this end we highly encourage candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply for our positions.

Among our many assistantships that promote and celebrate diversity, there are two specific assistantships open for 2008–09 in which graduate assistants work specifically in multicultural settings.
