Demographic shifts promise the most diverse student body in the history of higher education. The technology explosion is transforming the way we experience teaching and learning. Public expectations that higher education institutions put students at the center of learning have never been higher. Administrators and faculty throughout the country proclaim that they want to diversify their faculty in order to be able to meet these new challenges. When they are successful, they hire faculty of color who bring an abundance of talent. Armed with the new knowledge they acquired in their life experiences and in pursuit of their advanced degrees, these faculty members not only promote diversity, but also offer different ways of knowing their field and different lenses through which to examine their disciplines. Yet, when faculty of color enter the academy, they all too often receive little guidance about what it takes to carve out a career in higher education. The present volume is a collection of success stories contributed by faculty of color that share their lessons of survival. It offers thoughtful analyses, multiple blueprints, and specific strategies for shaping a successful and satisfying academic career. 410 0$aGreenwood educators' reference collection. 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zUnited States$xFaculty$vCase studies 606 $aMinority college teachers$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aAfrican American college teachers$vCase studies 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xFaculty 615 0$aMinority college teachers 615 0$aAfrican American college teachers 676 $a378.1/2/08996073 701 $aGarcia$b Mildred$0868224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970280903321 996 $aSucceeding in an academic career$94480762 997 $aUNINA
