The rates of admission and successful completion of higher education by students who are of African-American origins, Hispanic and the Native Americans origin have always trailed behind their White and Asian counterparts.

The art of calligraphy can be traced back in time, when technology did not provide people with the modern conveniences people of the 21st century enjoy.

Executive Summary

Executive Summary
Nurses are at the forefront of health care delivery. A patient’s satisfaction to the care he or she receives in a hospital depends on a large extent to the way nurses interact with him or her.

Thus, for nurses to provide the best possible care for their patients, it is important to institutionalize effective mechanisms that promote diversity awareness and self-diversity awareness. An example of such mechanism is the proposed Diversity Awareness Campaign.
