Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

By looking solely at the numbers, DePauw can appear whiter than a polar bear on an ice cap, but the diversity presence on campus is stronger than it appears. Students come from all over the country and world (41 states and 20 countries), and offer a range of views and experiences.

DePauw has also been noted nationally for its initiatives with the Posse Foundation Program, which offers educational opportunities to successful public high school students that may have not otherwise been given the advantage of a university education. Since 1996, DePauw has sponsored two multi-cultural groups of 10 high school seniors from both Chicago and New York. Campus groups, such as the Committee for Latino Concerns and Association for African American Students, also have a strong voice on campus which advocates for, and advances the positions of, DePauw’s minorities. Although the University has made strides in attracting diverse students and appealing to many backgrounds, the largest burden lies on the students to unite on campus. Students often get very involved in clubs or Greek living units, which can limit the opportunities to mingle with diverse students.

International

There are many international students here and they create a good atmosphere. It seems, though, that Chinese students aren't as accepted as the others
