The Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) awards veterans serving in the Armed Forces on orafter September 11, 2001, a maximum of 36 months of education benefits. This benefit pays apercentage of tuition, a Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), and a book stipend based on theamount of active duty time served by the veteran. Table 1 is a summary of the award percentageearned based on the active duty time served. This information is useful for understanding atwhat level a specific student veteran’s education is funded. In speaking with a student veteran,two useful questions to ask them are, “How long did you serve on active duty?” and “Are

Diversifying the field of engineering is an on-going challenge. Supporting and advancingunderrepresented students requires developing and refining targeted outreach, recruitment,support, and academic services for all students. To ensure inclusivity in diversity outreachefforts, we must ask ourselves, “Is higher education serving the higher good?” and “Who are wemissing – who is still underserved by our policies and programs?” A report, sponsored by theJack Kent Cooke Foundation, identified students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds as avulnerable group with significantly lower rates of degree completion in higher education.1 Ourqualitative research was motivated by the belief that attention to students’ income standpoint iscritical to ensuring

Later, more generally: a personwho offers support and guidance to another; an experienced and trusted counsellor or friend; apatron, a sponsor”1. In their survey of members of one chapter of the Medical LibraryAssociation, Kwasik et al (2006) found that 71% of respondents to a survey about mentoringanswered yes to the question “do you consider having a mentor or mentors a critical part of yourprofessional experience?”2.

Banks stated that “ethnic, cultural diversity is apositive element in a society because it enriches the nation, gives individuals moreopportunities to experience other cultures and thus to become more fulfilled as humanbeings” 1. The aim of cross-cultural education is to provide the learners with “globalawareness – an integrated worldview”, necessary to achieve active and full participation insociety and, as a result, to form “intercultural personality”.Nowadays much attention is paid by the scholars to the development of the context of theintercultural education. In this paper different approaches to the cross-cultural education areconsidered for high school
