Attending university/ college plays a vital role in the life of a
student. Educational institutions with students coming from a diverse
background are even better since it helps:
- To break stereotypes
- Improves communication with people
from varied backgrounds
- Enhances the capability of
critical thinking
Students generally come from a sheltered background and for those
who are already exposed to diverse communities it improves in their overall
learning experience in terms of learning to live in a cross-cultural
environment.
Some of the advantages of cultural diversity in a college campus
would be:
- Interacting with fellow students
of diverse background will help them learn and understand different
customs and lifestyle thus improving their self-awareness.
- Interacting with people from
diverse culture helps improve problem-solving capabilities with a
multi-focus.
- A diverse college experience helps
students to face the challenges of the career world from a global
perspective.
- A diverse learning environment
helps students to be better equipped to handle their workplace
relationships and improves their social skills making it a very enriching
experience.
An educational institution like Invertis University
where they have an excellent student and faculty exchange program. This
program enables students to study /conduct research as per their semester
requirement / study an academic year at an overseas university. Invertis
University has a collaborative program with foreign universities like
University of South Carolina, Livingstone College, Advanced College of
Engineering & Management (Kathmandu) and many more. Apart from the
student exchange program it also has a research collaboration with Universities
of USA and Germany.
The benefits of studying in a diverse college campus are
innumerable. Economically India is making waves at a global level and it
is only fair to equip the youth of the county to be able to handle the
challenges of work-life when they enter the career world. Every workplace
has a multi-ethnic workforce and prior experience in dealing will be an added
advantage.
A college campus that offers admission for students from a variety
of cultural background helps students in improved creative thinking,
problem-solving capabilities, a better understanding of diverse culture, better
team-handling/ interaction skills, improves social development, ability to work
with the diverse workforce in the future of their career, and enriches
global perspective.
All in all when a college/ educational institution engages in a
foreign student exchange/collaboration it opens a multitude of opportunities to
its students. This kind of a program provides students an opportunity to
learn at a foreign university/ provide them an opportunity to interact and
learn with a foreign student thus improving their social interaction skills
with students from various background. Exposure to a diverse culture and
unity with the students of multi-culture at a younger age turns the students
into well-seasoned professionals in their life in general and career in
particular.
