This book presents the work of ten public universities across the country that worked collaboratively to share their insights, challenges, initiatives, and strategies to promote diversity and civic engagement in higher education. By examining each university's institutional conditions, administrative structures, and practical interventions within diverse educational settings, the book reveals how to prepare students for an increasingly diverse workplace and participation in a pluralistic democracy. It offers multiple models that fit each campus context and is meant to reinvigorate campus efforts to realize the full benefits of diversity on campus. While the examples are drawn from public universities, the authors describe how the models can be applied to different types of institutions, including smaller private colleges.
