The college and university demographic continues to change as students from Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Central America, Eastern Europe, and Mexico immigrate to the United States. Atlantic Union College President Lashley posits that each of the church's institutions will have to adapt to the changing demographic - social, political, economic, historical, legal, and cultural contexts - in order to produce a rich and diverse array of roles and functions in order to meet the needs of each demographic. He suggests holding periodic meetings of representatives from colleges, listening to constituents, and developing a common mission, even if methodologies differ.
