The Multicultural Student Reception was attended primarily by students with a strong showing of faculty, staff, and other guests.

Nearly half of students in attendance at the Fall 2004 Multicultural Student Reception were white. However, ethnic minority groups were over represented in comparison to the overall NAU population, as white students typically account for 75% of students.

Sixty-eight percent of student attendees of the Multicultural Student Reception were female representing a slightly higher proportion of females than the overall NAU population.

The Fall 2004 Multicultural Student Reception was primarily attended by freshman. More than half of those in attendance were freshman. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors typically account for 19%, 13%, 16%, and 19% of the overall NAU population respectively.

I really enjoyed the group talk. I felt I learned a lot about other peoples’ views on culture and diversity.

I had fun

I was discriminated in the Spanish Theater Club. The vice president and president gave me a low class row for one of their plays. I ran for Vice President for 2 weeks. I was the only one running; until they made an exception to the running deadline. The allowed a white Hispanic to run for vice president. On the day of the voting, the vice president and president were telling everybody to vote for her. Thanks to them I lost my vote. They didn’t promote me. This happened 2 years ago and I hope it doesn’t happen again.

Please stop native only advisors and financial advisors. We should have equal services.

Good job and thanks
