In the academic setting, there is aneed to create an open and safe environment in which each can learn both to talk and listen,explore the self and the other. By truly learning one’s own culture and exploring another, onereturns with an understanding that far exceeds the sum of the parts. Multicultural educationseeks to enable the student to appreciate the variety of perspectives that each of us represents andthat various identities, even embodied within one person, provide unique positions from whichone interacts with and views the world.

An approach being explored in the Civil Engineering Department at NCSU is to introduce a structuralsystem (e.g. building), to the students as a first step toward seeing how their studies lead to an actual product.This type of introduction captures their interest, and then the structural system is used to develop a casehistory. This approach is similar to the way medical students are exposed to a human body and its anatomy,which is followed by introduction of diagnostic procedures and the know how for preventive and correctivemeasures for remedial solutions. The potential impact of this approach would be that the students would have abetter understanding of the design decisions, process and the methodology. This approach also helps

a PhD in mathematics, I participated in one of the first Preparing the Professoriate programs in the nation. The goal of the program was to prepare graduate students more deliberately to “hit the ground running” as new faculty members. For me, it worked. I started a tenure-track position at an undergraduate-only institution with a solid awareness of the cultural values, norms, and expectations for mathematics faculty members at that time. Additional formal mentoring in mathematics education allowed me to quickly learn and model the norms and values of education faculty members as well. I was promoted to associate professor and tenured with ease, racking up awards and recognitions along the way. My experience with explicit, formal

A ‘mentor’ experience; e.g., mentored internship not done for academic credit, in which students get to create their own project and then implement it under the supervision of a faculty member, provides an effective tool for learning. · Appreciate diversity. The impact of racial and ethnic diversity on their college experience has a highly positive effect; students learn from others who come from different backgrounds. · Manage time.
