Getting students through the doors of a college or university is only part of the challenge. What happens after they arrive can be just as important. As student populations become more diverse, institutions are increasingly being asked to consider whether their cultures, systems, and support structures are evolving alongside them.

A scholar focused on higher education and organizational change, Garcia examines what it can mean for colleges and universities to move beyond simply enrolling diverse students and become more responsive to the people they serve.
