Diversity in the Corps of Cadets
We value cultural, economic and
ethnic diversity within the Corps of Cadets. We believe this
is especially important in today's increasingly interconnected
global environment. We believe that diversity gives the members
of our Corps of Cadets the opportunity to interact with and
understand all people. We believe this is an integral part
of the leadership education that cadets receive, and that
their experience with diversity in the Corps will be of great
value to them after graduation. In tomorrow's diverse environment,
our graduates will be more comfortable working with people
who are different than themselves.
"Being
a minority at NGCSU while in the Corps was an experience
to remember. Coming from a diverse community to a place
where I'm overwhelmingly outnumbered changed my views of how
the world operates. Being here made me realize that the
opportunity for a minority to succeed is there and has always
been. To accept the challenges in which you are presented
and to persevere is a choice one must make. The Corps of
Cadets taught me how to make those difficult decisions with
accuracy and no regrets, and how to follow and learn to lead
as well. The North Georgia Corps of Cadets taught me that no matter your
genetic make up, background or race, you can succeed through
hard work and much effort and no one can bring you down
if you remember always to do what's right. I learned that being
different makes you special and gives you a different perspective
and a sense of respect for those around you. Being a minority
at NGCSU made me realize you can go as far as you want in
life, just take the steps."
