The Multicultural Campus brings together administrators, faculty, and students to offer strategies that will alter the academic environment of the future. Hispanic, African, and Asian American educational leaders examine the obstacles they have faced, as minorities, climbing up the predominantly white career ladder in American universities. Firsthand accounts show how change on governance, executive, faculty, and curricula levels will help us better educate all students in our nation's growing pluralistic society.

Embrace the best practices for initiating multicultural change in individuals, groups, and institutions Higher education institutions have begun to take steps toward addressing multicultural issues on campuses, but more often than not, those in charge of the task have received little to no training in the issues that are paramount in serving culturally diverse students. Creating Multicultural Change on Campus is a response to this problem, offering new conceptualizations and presenting practical strategies and best practices for higher education professionals who want to foster the awareness, knowledge, and skills necessary for multicultural change on an institutional level. In Creating Multicultural Change on Campus, the authors of the classic text Multicultural Competence in Student Affairs delve deep into key concepts in multicultural organizational development, guiding readers who want to enact change not just at the individual level, but also at the group and institutional levels. Readers will be introduced to frameworks that are crucial for creating inclusive, welcoming, and affirming campus environments. You'll also find comprehensive examples from several institutions along with specific examples of effective multicultural practices that are useful for real-world situations. The book: Provides the strategies, frameworks, and expert guidance for recognizing and addressing multicultural issues in institutions of higher learning Offers a rich understanding of both Multicultural Organizational Development (MCOD) and the Multicultural Change Intervention Matrix (MCIM) and how these models are important for evaluating environments and outcomes Is appropriate for those who serve students directly, as well as higher education leaders and administrators who create professional development programs Is designed as a practical guide and filled with specific examples to help readers apply strategies to their own campuses A much-needed resource, this book can help lead institutions toward meaningful action that will have a positive impact for all individuals in a student body and the professionals who serve them.

The general college student body has evolved from a homogenous, predominantly white population to one that is culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse. The findings of current research on achievement and retention of minority students are discouraging. Fewer minorities attend college, success rates of those in college have not improved, and dreams of achieving educational equity remain unfulfilled. This volume of New Directions for Student Services moves forward from a descriptive perspective of what is happening on college campuses. It describes an approach to working with students that involves cultural brokering, which enjoins us to learn to think contextually, span boundaries, ensure optimum performance, and take action. The cultural broker model is suggested for use with all students on today's campuses. The model presents a vision of practice that can respond to the diversity of the the 1990s and beyond. This reflexive approach is defined as deliberate and thoughtful choices of action based on knowledge of cultural differences, expansion of personal experience to others' communities, education from a variety of perspectives, and advocacy for broadening opportunities. For college administrators and student affairs professionals, the perspectives and suggestions within this volume provide valuable insights about the creation and maintenance of multicultural campuses. This is the 60th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Student Services. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

Co-published with For new professionals in multicultural student services (MSS), this book constitutes a thorough introduction to the structure, organization, and scope of the services and educational mission of these units. For senior practitioners it offers insights for re-evaluating their strategies, and inspiration to explore new possibilities.The book discusses the history and philosophy of MSS units; describes their operation; asserts the need for integration and coherence across the multiple facets of their work and how their role is influenced by the character and type of their institutions; and considers the challenges and opportunities ahead. The theme Building Bridges, Re-Visioning Community reflects the dual role of MSS. They “build bridges” between underrepresented student populations and the broader institutional environment, between different groups of student populations, and across differences in cultural values and traditions. At a time of increasing diversity on campus, their role is also to champion the “re-visioning” or redefinition of what constitutes community in higher education – in other words to reach beyond serving their traditional constituencies to educate for multicultural competence, and advocate for social justice across the campus commons.This book is organized in four sections moving the reader from the past to the present to the future, and from a service mission to an educational one. Part One reviews the purposes for which MSS were created, and the evolution of their vision, concluding an overview of how units perceive their needs and challenges today.Part Two addresses a range of issues – such as race/ethnicity, sexual orientation / gender identity, and religion/faith diversity – commonly addressed by MSS, and, in recognizing the tensions inherent in serving such disparate constituencies, advances ideas for bringing greater integration and coherence to their work.Part Three considers how institutional context influences the structure and organization of MSS, and addresses such questions as: Who are they serving? What kind of support services and educational programming can they provide? How broadly or narrowly should they define their role, and can they extend their influence through alliances with other campus units?The book concludes by looking at how MSS can re-vision community to ensure their continued relevance to the college or university community.An ACPA Publication

In a post-9/11 nation that is gripped by race fear, this book presents an approach to diversity that promotes peace and understanding across difference. Discussing studies conducted over an eight-year period, The Intercultural Campus reveals the underlying sources of racial fragmentation on college and university campuses and outlines a new framework for diversity. Citing the results from an innovative four-year project that completely transformed the culture of a university, Greg Tanaka describes specific programs that all campuses should implement when admitting diverse classes. Signaling a larger shift for progressives away from binary, essentialized notions of identity to individual agency, or «subjectivity», this book advances a social change philosophy based in interdependence and highlights the skills that future U.S. leaders will need to interact successfully with others in our diverse global society.

To accommodate the increasing diversity at educational institutions and to make diverse students feel welcomed, these institutions are working toward achieving multiculturalism and developing multicultural competencies among students. The multicultural competencies refer to the awareness, knowledge, and skills needed to work with others who are culturally different. Campus physical environment plays a role towards developing multicultural competencies among students but, but few studies examined this relationship. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore relationship between physical design elements of campus (i.e., art, signage, interior design, architecture, landscape design and graffiti) and multicultural competencies of university students. To examine this relationship, Astin's Input Environment Output (I-E-O) model (1993) was adopted to create theoretical framework.The study employed mixed methods. Quantitative data was collected through a questionnaire survey in first phase of the study and qualitative data through a design charrette in the second phase of the study. The objectives of this study were: 1) to perform literature review about designed elements of campus, and their relationship to campus multiculturalism and multicultural competencies of students, 2) to establish a research framework using Astin's I-E-O Model to investigate the relationship between campus design elements (art, signage, interior design of buildings, architecture, landscape design, and graffiti) and multicultural competencies of students, 3) to conduct a survey of college students regarding their perceptions of environmental design elements and their multicultural competencies, and 4) to conduct a design charrette with college students and several other campus community members i.e., diversity experts, interior designers, construction management experts etc. to redesign a space on campusto enhance multiculturalism and multicultural competencies of students and to collect ideas about space design on campus to enhance multiculturalism.The findings of the study indicate that there is significant relationship between perception of physical design elements on campus and multicultural competencies of students. Several student characteristics are also significantly related to their perceived diversity support by campus design elements and their multicultural competencies. Age, Ethnicity and interaction of students with diverse people are significantly related to their perceived diversity support by campus physical design elements. Also, gender, ethnicity, nationality of students and their interaction with diverse people are found to be significantly related to their multicultural competencies.The study has both theoretical and practical implications. Theoretical implication by using Astin's I-E-O model to examine physical environment of campus and its relationship with student's multicultural competencies. Practical implications include the design suggestions provided by charrette participants regarding buildings design on campus to enhance campus multiculturalism and multicultural competencies of students.

The first edition of this book constituted a comprehensive resource for students of higher education, faculty, higher education administrators and student affairs leaders engaging with multiculturalism and diverse populations on college campuses. It was one of the first texts to gather in a single volume the related theories, assessment methods, and environmental and application issues pertinent to the study and practice of multiculturalism, while also offering approaches to enhancing multicultural programming and culturally diverse campus environments. This second edition retains the structure and vision of the first, introducing readers to the key theories and models for understanding the complexity of the students they serve, and for reflecting on their own values and motivations. It provides an array of case studies, discussion questions, examples of best practice, and recommendations about resources for use in the classroom. This edition includes a new chapter on intersectionality, updates several chapters, presents a number of new cultural frameworks and updated best practices for creating an inclusive environment for marginalized groups, and expands the third section of the book on cultural competent practice.

Emphasizing that diversity in the curriculum is as much about a way of thinking as it is about specific information, Lutzker presents a compendium of innovative and practical classroom strategies and widely available information resources which will enable faculty to increase the multicultural content of their courses without necessarily making major changes in their accustomed methods of teaching. This is a handbook for college faculty in all disciplines who would like to increase the multicultural content of their courses, but have been reluctant to do so for a variety of reasons including an already overloaded syllabus, a lack of background in the subject, uncertainty about student reactions, or lack of time to make substantial changes in an existing syllabus. Administrators anxious to increase diversity in the curriculum of their institutions, but unable to fund large-scale curriculum revision projects, will also find this volume useful. Part I is concerned with classroom strategies and with student research projects. Starting with discussions of objectives and priorities, the underlying role of critical thinking, and the importance of language sensitivity, the book then describes specific classroom strategies useful for increasing diversity. The subsequent chapters are devoted to discussions of general guidelines for developing student projects with a multicultural perspective, innovative alternatives to the traditional term paper, and suggestions for multicultural student projects which do not require library research. Part I concludes with a discussion of possible student reactions to increased multiculturalism, and suggested approaches to those reactions. Part II is concerned with information resources which will be useful to instructors and to students. Fully annotated lists are provided in a variety of areas including widely available primary sources, specialized biographical directories, sources for sample syllabi in all disciplines, guides to ethnic and foreign press, to films and videos, and to electronic resources. Part II concludes with a discussion designed to increase efficiency in using the library catalog to locate information in multicultural subject areas. Appendices provide sample research worksheets, a list of small publishers and distributors of multicultural books, and an annotated bibliography.
