Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Diversity on a small campus is, to say the least, always going to be a problem. Specific races, religions, or orientations may find it lonely on Stetson’s campus. The majority of students are Caucasian Christians. This might be due to the University’s past Baptist affiliation and expensive price tag to attend here. But, this does not mean that minorities aren’t welcome. On the contrary, they are welcomed and needed. On campus, there are clubs that represent most creeds, races, and orientations. These clubs are very welcoming. There are activities hosted by the organizations that celebrate differences, and Stetson is happy to be the sponsor. These organizations are also very inclusive and allow anyone be a part of the activities they are holding. The main thing is to find causes that you support and join that organization. To join, it can be as simple as adding your e-mail address to a mailing list.

Rich Kids

Stetson is full of them. White frat boys and sorority girls. There are international kids, but even they are rich. There's not a lot of economic diversity here.

No Diversity

No diverse faculty or student body. Not a diverse curriculum. They do not support these programs, at all. The administration does not fund such programs since they are white. There is a history at this unviersity that cannot be avoided.

I Weight Off My Shoulders

Coming into college as a gay male I was concerned (my high school was very closed minded) that I wouldn't find a place to be accepted. I was so wrong! Stetsons diversity policies make this whole campus a safe place, the GSA here (called Kaleidoscope) is a great organization and is very active on campus. Most of the teachers even have safe zone stickers on there doors!! :D
