While some incoming students worry about difficult classes and strict study schedules in college, cultural obstacles can be a major concern for others.“Some of the unique challenges for underrepresented students is that a lot of times, they find themselves being the only one in a classroom or in a group setting, and they might have not ever experienced that before coming from the community they came from,” Ro-Anne Royer Engle, Multicultural Center director, said.During the 2012-2013 school year, students that did not identify as white made up 11.9 percent of the undergraduate population and 8.1 percent of the graduate population, according to the university’s website.One way to lessen diversity challenges from this cultural gap is through participation in one of the multicultural campus organizations.Kirsten Davenport, Black Student Association president, said BSA helped her as a freshman.“Even though I went to an all-white school growing up, Ball State provided that extra push of knowing where I came from, knowing my background and being able to fit in with others like me,” she said.Still, addressing diversity is a challenge for Ball State, Engle said.“I think with what people call PWIs [predominantly white institutions], or historically white institutions, anytime you’re bringing students from underrepresented populations, there is always that, ‘How do you create that environment where people feel comfortable being themselves?’” Engle said.
