<p>But the way he made it sound is that the program didn’t do anything to help ‘bridge the gap’ (something that I think does interest him); instead, he felt outcast. Plus how does it help to bring minorities and white people together if the program caters only to minorities? I didn’t attend, however, so I don’t know the specifics of what went on.</p>
<p>I think that the TWC should exist - it’s very important for minority students, women, etc. to have safe places to talk. But as a pre-orientation program? It could use some work. I do think it’s a natural thing to self-segregate - it happens in high school and it’ll happen in college - but having a more diverse group of people at TWTP (or a similar race-oriented program) would do more to promote discussion and understanding. As it is, TWTP does seem to serves more to segregate than to promote a mutual exchange of ideas.</p>
