Culture Is Career Currency: Why Every Student Needs to Plug Into Michigan’s Diversity


ree

College life isn’t just about textbooks and exams — it’s about preparing for the world beyond campus. At Western Michigan University and across Michigan’s colleges, students from every background are realizing something powerful: culture is career currency.


📚 Shared Struggles, Shared Success

Whether you’re stressing about tuition, searching for an internship, or navigating housing and mental health challenges, these struggles cut across race and culture. But the solutions often come from cross-cultural connection. When Black, Hispanic, and white students work together — through mentorship programs, campus organizations, or community projects — everyone gains.


🌍 Learning Across Lines

Companies aren’t just hiring for degrees anymore. They’re looking for leaders who can navigate diverse workplaces, collaborate with people from different cultures, and bring fresh ideas to the table. Connecting across cultures in college isn’t just socially enriching — it’s career prep.


🎓 HBCU Insights for All

Through The Chronicle’s new College Connect section, HBCU Correspondent Nasaan Jackson is showing how the traditions, resilience, and excellence of HBCUs matter far beyond Black campuses. These lessons in leadership, identity, and community give all students tools for success.


The Chronicle on College Campuses

Now that The Chronicle News has expanded to various college campuses across Michigan, students have a chance to see themselves reflected in a statewide platform — and to learn from one another’s stories. Because the truth is simple: the more you connect across cultures, the more doors open for your future.
