The First Year Experience: Cultivating Equitable Environments for Underserved Students is a concise, impactful guide that equips current and future educators with the knowledge and skillsets they need to create a welcoming, unbiased academic environment in which students from a variety of diverse backgrounds can thrive and succeed. Unit I explores the wants and needs of students of colour in higher education, how to create effective LGBTQIA+ campus communities, and the importance of reaffirming veteran students on campus. In Unit II, readers learn about the American Disabilities Act; strategies for addressing micro aggressions and implicit racial bias; and evidence-based support structures for Black men. The final unit helps readers develop an equity action plan and reviews the types of paradigm shifts and policy changes that are needed to successfully promote greater levels of equity and inclusion on campus. The First Year Experience is an ideal resource for first year and freshman orientation courses and programs. It is also a useful guide for future and current educators and higher education administrators.
