As I witness the percentage of international students enrolled in the SFSU College of Business Graduate Programs quickly climb to nearly 50 percent of the student body population, I'm reminded of how diversity contributes positively to the learning experience. For instance, I greatly appreciate the cultural differences that often lead to engaging classroom discussions and the occasional passionate debate. (07/11/2008)

It might seem like a paradox that my ties to the continent where I was born strengthened, rather than weakened, after the five years I have spent in the U.S. Regardless of my present residence, I follow the news from the other side of the pond more avidly than I do that from Washington, D.C.

Truly, understanding diversity is important not only for appreciating a mix of co-workers. The more important lesson from the seminar is that having a large number of diverse employees puts the force in the workforce.
