First, an introductory chapter, "The Importance of Cultural Issues to Higher Education," by Gustavo A. Mellander and Fred Prochaska, reviews the diversity recommendations of the National Center for Postsecondary Governance and Finance, as well as the WVMCCD's commitment to a comprehensive student assessment and placement program, and to an affirmative action plan for hiring. The subsequent chapters, which describe the district's model programs, are entitled: (1) "A Brief Summary of the Cultural Pluralism Program at Mission College," by Jane Patton; (2) "The ADELANTE Project at Mission College," by Barbara Richmond and Nancy K. Wright; (3) "The Cross-Cultural Contact Assignment at Mission College," by Marsha Chan; (4) "The Role of Cultural Diversity in Vocational Courses at Mission College," by JoAnn Hacker; (5) "The Puente Project at West Valley College," by Mary Casper; (6) "SUCCESS--Students Utilizing Cross-Cultural Educational Support and Services: A Mentoring Program for African American Students at West Valley College," by Veronese Anderson and Carolyn Nash; (7) "The Summer Institute, 1990, at West Valley College," by Angelina Rodarte; (8) "Teaching Foreign Languages with a Focus on Cultural Awareness at West Valley College," by Ken Colson and Edith Zanotti; and (9) "Women Making Their Own Way--Conference Report, June 1990: Educational Transition at West Valley College," by Elisa R.
