In what way can midshipmen help create a better Academy environment?

Engaging in proposals for inclusivity is essential for midshipmen aiming to create a better environment at the Academy. This involves actively contributing to initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion among the student body. Such proposals can lead to policies and practices that ensure that all midshipmen feel valued and supported, fostering a sense of belonging.

When midshipmen participate in discussions about inclusivity, they contribute their perspectives and experiences, which are vital for understanding the needs of the entire Academy community. This kind of engagement can result in a more cohesive and harmonious environment, where diverse backgrounds and viewpoints are appreciated and integrated into the Academy's culture.

On the other hand, avoiding feedback, ignoring peer mentorship, or rejecting participation in committees would detract from the collaborative spirit that is crucial for positive change. These actions would hinder opportunities for growth, support, and development—elements that are fundamental to the mission of the Naval Academy in preparing future leaders.
