Presented by Dr. Jeffrey F. Milem, Ernest W. McFarland Distinguished Professor, University of Arizona
Student diversity is central to how many colleges and universities define themselves. A major challenge that higher education leaders and educators face is to leverage what we know about the educational benefits of diversity to ensure that our institutions’ mission-driven diversity and access goals and enrollment efforts lead to meaningful interactions and experiences for students, faculty, and other key stakeholders.
With a special focus on racial and ethnic diversity, this talk is intended to address the following questions:
What research has been conducted on diversity in higher education?
What are some research directions that may inform action within the higher education community?
What are the conditions that must be in place to achieve the benefits of diversity?
What are policy and practice implications for institutions?
