Praise for Multicultural Competence in Student Affairs "Raechele Pope, Amy Reynolds, and John Mueller break new ground in presenting a clear and comprehensive picture of what multicultural competence actually looks like in student affairs practice. Their suggestions for developing multicultural attitudes, knowledge, and skills are imminently practical and very much needed." -Nancy J. Evans, professor and program coordinator, Higher Education Program, Iowa State University "Given the state of affairs in our world today related to the misunderstanding of cultures, this is a must-read for those of us in higher education who say we are making a difference in the lives of students." -Gregory Roberts, executive director and senior operating officer, American College Personnel Association "The authors go far beyond the basic and instead present complex competencies related to awareness, knowledge, and skills for model multicultural practice. Further, the case studies are an excellent resource for multicultural professional development." -Marylu McEwen, College Student Personnel Program, University of Maryland, College Park

Today's leaders in higher education are focused on creating multicultural campuses. However, most higher education and student affairs professionals receive limited training for understanding the complexity of multicultural issues. If multiculturalism is to flourish on college campuses, education professionals must develop the sensitivity and awareness in affirming relevant multicultural issues and develop the skills needed to offer meaningful services to all their students.Multicultural Competence in Student Affairs is a unique resource that offers student affairs practitioners and faculty a guide that features a model of core competencies that embraces the broad scope of multicultural issues including race, class, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and abilities.
