Creating Inclusive Campus Environments for Cross-Cultural Learning and Student Engagement

Edited by Shaun R. Harper
2008, NASPA

Diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusion are values espoused by most colleges and universities; yet many educators, including those in student affairs, expect students to "magically" interact with peers from different cultural backgrounds on their own. With recent calls for accountability in higher education, it is more important than ever for educators to reconsider ways in which they prepare students for participation in a diverse democracy.

Creating Inclusive Campus Environments for Cross-Cultural Learning and Student Engagement shows how to capitalize in educationally meaningful ways on the diversity that exists on campuses across the nation. It offers forward-thinking strategies and examples of good practice that will reshape the way readers think about approaching the work of multicultural education. Visit the NASPA Bookstore

Mentor Appreciation Weeks for NUFP Mentors Announced!

NASPA is pleased to announce that January 28–February 8, 2008 are the official Mentor Appreciation Weeks for mentors of the NASPA Undergraduate Fellows Program (NUFP). The mission of NUFP is to increase the number of persons of ethnic-minority, persons with disabilities, and/or persons who identify as LGBT in student affairs and higher education. NUFP provides mentoring, internship opportunities, leadership training, and funding to attend national conferences to these undergraduate students, also known as "fellows." If you would like to start a NUFP program on your campus, please contact Nathan Victoria

Application Deadline Extended – NUFP Summer Internship Host Institutions

The NASPA Undergraduate Fellows Program (NUFP) Internship Program provides NUFP Fellows with the opportunity to gain more insight into the field of higher education and student affairs through a campus-based experience at a campus other than their own. The deadline for host institution applications has past, but we are still accepting applications. Contact Nathan Victoria for more information.
