Abstract
The main goal of our project was to discover whether or not diversity existed in athletics and the music program at the University of Illinois. We found in our research, and specifically in the survey we conducted, that most people believed that athletics were diverse and that the music programs were predominantly white. In the interviews, it was agreed that diversity is very small and it’s hard to find diverse students to want to join music groups. Both groups agreed that diversity would be beneficial, but were not able to come up with a way to help spread diversity throughout the campus organizations.
