Educating a Diverse Nation gives us a compelling narrative, filled
with robust research, facts, and recommendations to help colleges
and universities better educate the growing population of Americans
who will comprise the majority of college students in the decades
ahead. Conrad and Gasman have made an extraordinary contribution in
studying the work of exemplary minority-serving institutions (MSIs)
to educate students for success in all walks of life and
professions. This book provides important lessons to inform the
rest of American higher education about high-quality, culturally
relevant teaching and learning for the twenty-first century.

Conrad and Gasman insightfully take us into the living–learning
environments of exemplary minority-serving institutions and
highlight a variety of nontraditional approaches to effective
pedagogy and culturally relevant practices. Their book is an
invaluable asset for educators and institutions looking to generate
strategies for enhancing minority student recruitment, retention,
and high academic performance.
