That appreciation and respect also overflow into other areas. For instance, Cargill supported a Business School program that introduces the basics of futures and options contracts to FHA and 4-H high school students who would use them in their future agricultural occupations. Cargill played a great role in making the program a success. Companies realize how homogenized would be our convictions, our way of thinking, if we never encountered someone different from ourselves in school or the workplace. And they are sincere about partnering with and rewarding, in far-reaching ways, those institutions that foster heterogeneity in the student body.
Diversity truly does have a place in education.
