Among us is a diversified community. Clemson is a diverse University. The programs, awards, the Intercultural Centers, and Projects, Clemson provides, helps display Clemson University as a diverse community.

This picture shows the step into the right direction. In 2000, President Barker created “The President’s Council on Community and Diversity”. The mission of this council is to help Clemson achieve its goals of promoting diversity and identify the status of diversity on the campus.

The W.I.S.E program is another step forward in promoting diversity in the Clemson community and campus. This program is designed to help and support females in engineering and science majors. The W.I.S.E program helps women make new friends, be successful in college, and help women start their journey towards a successful career.

No matter where you are in the world today, we are surrounded by communities flourishing in diversity. Having a diverse community means being made up of distinct characteristics and qualities. The Clemson community is also a part of this and already attracted many different types of students to its campus.

Clemson is a diverse community and Clemson displays an understanding and acceptance of all people, no matter what gender, age, race, religion, or ethnic background in many different ways.
