Coverage
"Some students believe that these statistics may make the College look more racially and ethnically diverse than it really is because the Feb classes tend to have a high percentage of white students."
"'The lack of diversity of the Feb classes is something I've definitely thought about...There's a connection-building exercise that we do at Feb orientation where we stand up if we have something in common. At one point when I was a Feb leader, someone said 'Stand up if you are a student of color.' And of all of the Feb leaders and new Febs, I was the only person of color. It was just kind of awkward"- Trivedi
