Preview~ the crucial first few weeks According to the dean, “getting to know people here who are different” is very important for the new student in the first few weeks of college. It can help them a stage to know more people from different backgrounds, ethnic and racial groups, home towns, and substantive interests. This can help solving the diversity problem. According to an Asian-American senior, he is devoting 90% of his thoughts to academic plans because he finds the dean’s word is effective and it has made a big impression on him. This good beginning can establish a tone inside and outside the classroom. The students can learn by living and interacting with others who are different. The dean also tells the students try to engage that kind of learning as their personal goal, learning to understand other people and the way how they think. Then the boundaries between the students can be broken. Therefore, first few weeks in the college is the most important and critical moment for the dean or campus leader to share thoughts and ideas with new students.

Scheduling Classes just before Dinner According to the article, full time students in the residence halls or dorms do not make better use of the hours substantively. They want to find ways to strengthen day-to-say life in the dorm. Some students suggest that to hold the classes in the dorm, and then they can go directly from classes to dinner as a group. The aim is to continue the substantive conversation over dinner. The scheduling idea offers the student a simple and straightforward way to build up a substantive tone in the dorm. This scheduling idea can be applied to the campus, seminars and other classes, not just to sections of large lecture courses. The scheduling plan is welcome by 82% students who meet in such course sections in the residence halls. First, the students are happy with the sections meet in a seminar room in the dorm. Second, they are happy to continue discussions over dinner. Third, it is optional for them to join the full group after dinner. The result shows that the students have actually changed their behavior in the criteria of capitalizing their time.

Getting in students’ way The campus leaders play an important role in establishing campus culture, especially to admit a talent group of students. The campus leaders have to make a thoughtful, evidence-based, purposeful effort to get in each student’s way. Sometimes, students have to make choices about which classes to take when relating activities outside of classes to learning in formal courses and decisions about whom to live with. This can help students evaluate and re-evaluate their choices. It is very important for campus leaders to get in the way of each student because they can and should do many things on their own. The instructor or the campus leaders can have strong effects on educational diversity by leading and having the class discussions with a group of people with different background we are growing up. The students in the discussion learn how to respect others’ views with people of different backgrounds or by different ethnic diversity in the group. They also learn how to handle others’ views that is different from their own in a tactful way. The discussion tests students’ civility to one another and their capacity to disagree. At the end, they all pass the test with distinguished results because no one is offended by the conversation and the conversation really changes students’ mind around the table.
