IDD&E Takes Pride in its Diverse Student Body

By Yuri Pavlov | IDD&E doctoral student (Belarus)

Since the IDD&E Department was formed in 1948, hundreds of students from at least 62 countries have received their education here and contributed their unique perspectives to classroom discussions and projects. In the academic year 2019–2020, a total of 67 students are enrolled to study instructional design at the master’s, doctoral, and certificate of advanced study levels. Of these students, 33 are women and 34 are men, 21 students are international and 46 are domestic. The international students represent 12 unique countries. The student body is diverse in such dimensions as religion, ethnicity, race, sexuality, political affiliation, nationality, age, disability, and culture. Our students bring invaluable experiences, talents, strengths, skills, and views into the classroom and help make everyone’s experience better in their selected programs. Not only are we proud to be a diverse student body, we are also proud of our small but diverse IDD&E faculty that are represented by professors from South Korea, China, Canada, and the United States. Networking among the students and professors affords the students with an unmatched potential to make an impact in students’ respective countries or local communities. The opportunities to collaborate with students from different backgrounds improves intended results for everyone involved in the collaboration by reducing groupthink, sparking innovation and effective problem-solving, and promoting empathy toward other people’s ways of looking at the world.
