A Guidebook for Minority Students on a Majority Campus

"How to Succeed on a Majority Campus: A Guide for Minority Students," by Marc Levey, Michael Blanco and W. Terrell Jones, the authors are Penn State professionals working in minority student recruitment and retention, is the first book of its kind and has been described as a must-read for minority students and parents of students attending or considering a majority campus. Published in fall 1997 by Wadsworth, it is now in bookstores across the country.

It was written to help students overcome barriers associated with race, ethnicity, and cultural isolation, and addresses issues head-on, including racism on campus, navigating unfamiliar ethical points of view, special challenges for women of color, building relationships with others, and resolving conflicts. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual students of color and the experiences of international students of color are issues rarely dealt with in college advice books, but are addressed here.
