Title: Envisioning equity
Subtitle: educating and graduating low-income, first-generation, and minority college students
Description: Envisioning Equity: Educating and Graduating Low-income, First-generation, and Minority College Students makes the case for the necessity to graduate more under-represented students in order for them to achieve a middle-class life and for our nation to be able to compete in a global economy.  Part of the book is a road map for faculty members (and high school teachers) to engage these students, motivate and inspire them, and teach them how to become critical, analytical thinkers.  Proven pedagogical strategies show the way to create an inclusive, welcoming classroom atmosphere and then get students to become active learners. College administrators and policy makers are shown the way to improve retention and graduation rates.
