In environments where people from various cultures interact, learn from one another, and share ideas, innovation and creativity flourish. Additionally, it is thought that in order for our kids to develop into successful adults who can work through issues and come up with new solutions, they must be aware of the diversity of people and learn to accept differences. Thus, we can remind everyone that diversity is what defines us as humans by observing International Students Day.
