Diversity at College - Real Stories of Students Conquering Bias and Making Higher Education More Inclusive

The demography of America is changing and it is showing up on college campuses as an increasingly diverse student body. Universities typically handle changes within the academic tradition of courses or programs, but to prepare students to live and work in an increasingly diverse world something else is needed.
