STUDENT FORUM: Is the Graduate Center a diverse institution? Why or why not?

"Absolutely. The interaction between departments spawns a diversity of ideas. This draws a spectrum of students and professors."

John Harkey, English

"I think it’s fairly diverse. Perhaps not compared to New York generally. I think it would be great if we continued to care about and foster diversity further."

Una Chung, English

"Coming from Canada, I’d have to say yes. This is a city of immigrants and I see the same faces in the building."

Tamara Mose Brown, Sociology

"Seems like a prism."

Malav Kanuga, Sociology (incoming student)

"I think diversity is relative. Compared to Yale or other private institutions, the GC is diverse, particularly if you are a white male."

Lesley Pastrick, Earth & Environmental Science

"Any gathering of human beings is diverse. The question is, do we seek out our commonalities?"

Henry Tork, Physics
