Creating Multicultural Change on Campus

PRAISE FOR CREATING MULTICULTURAL CHANGE ON CAMPUS Most colleges and universities rate multiculturalism as an important goal. Few have plans for achieving it; much of what does occur is reactive and piecemeal. This is a book that offers institutions a remedy, providing a much needed guide for planned and comprehensive action. Arthur Levine, president of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation Acknowledging that awareness is not enough to create positive environments for diverse students, this book walks us through a change process at multiple levels. Individuals, groups, and institutions can use this framework to access their success and pinpoint areas of deficiency. Vasti Torres, dean of the College of Education, University of South Florida To demonstrate that acknowledging, understanding, and engaging with diverse others is not only the right thing to do educationally, politically, and socially, but actually possible to achieve, Creating Multicultural Change on Campus amasses in a skillful way much of the most significant scholarship on the matter. [] The authors offer theories but wisely couple them with concrete practices, examples, advice, checklists, and constant reassuring words.... From the foreword by Caryn McTighe Musil, senior scholar and director of Civic Learning and Democracy Initiatives, The Association of American Colleges and Universities
