One of the most important things in leadership is diversity, because those in power should resemble who they govern. The 2018-2019 staff of USGD is more diverse than years past. ASU Downtown is diverse in its own right but USGD this academic year is more than in years past.

You may be wondering why any of these numbers and breakdowns matter. Well in fact these numbers show that in one way or another there is someone in USGD to represent you whether that is by college, age, race, or sexual orientation.
Representation is important because the ones in power should somewhat resemble those in which they govern.
