Aashiq Jivani - Stanford Law School Diversity Statement Whereas most of the students of Stanford Law School hail from families with decorated educational backgrounds, I am one of the eleven-thousand first-generation students currently enrolled at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).

First-generation students are not exposed to any parental advice on how to navigate through the unanticipated academic, social, and emotional trials that they encounter in college. As a result, these students are thirty-five percent less likely to graduate than continuing-generation students.

Children all over the country are being taught many different languages. Learning different languages is important because our country is more diverse than others.

The organization I work for, Starbucks is highly diversified. In my opinion, Starbucks successfully employs each of the seven diversity components: “authentic leadership commitment, clear organizational communication, inclusive recruitment practices, long-term retention strategies, incorporating diversity into main work of the organization, diversity management metrics, and expansive external relationships” (CanÌas, Sondak 2014). With that being said, Starbucks could improve by incorporating diversity into main work of the organization. One way Starbucks proves their commitment to diversity is authentic by holding a diverse board of directors. Of the seven board members, three are women and one of these women is of an African descent.
