This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of providing East Asian undergraduate students with pre-departure cultural training versus only post-arrival orientation. The study found that students who received four weeks of pre-departure cultural competency training using an online platform had an easier initial transition and adjustment during their first semester in the US compared to students who only received standard post-arrival orientation. Key themes from student responses included feeling overwhelmed navigating a foreign culture alone, wishing they had more cultural knowledge beforehand, and relying on friendships for support.

International Students and the Multicultural Environment
The quest for quality education by International students in the United States has always presented untold challenges to these students as they try to fit into American culture and education systems. In the last few decades, the U.S. has witnessed an ever growing number of foreign students in most of their local educational institutions. The economic growth and reforms in various countries has enabled the mass immigration of international students into America in search of better education prospects in order to boost their chances of economic prosperity. Moreover, the improvement in diplomatic relationships among many countries has also had a positive impact in the quest for many students from affluent families, and lucky ones who are able to secure scholarships to studying in some of the American’s best learning institutions (Larmerfeb, 23). Therefore, this paper will discuss the prospects of international education to a multicultural learner.
A Multicultural-learner may be described as a student who embraces any form of education system or teaching approach that incorporates the values, beliefs, histories and perspectives of other learners from different cultural backgrounds. Such learners are cognizant that international learning institutions are multicultural in nature. Multicultural learning environments also pose major challenges to students, especially for those who are facing such situations for the first time in their lifetime (Andrade, 139).
Multicultural environments are very instrumental in fostering effective and efficient learning environments for learners from all walks of life. For instance, a multicultural learning environment can be helpful to learners trying to develop a positive self-image on oneself and one’s cultural background. Multicultural learners are presented with equitable learning opportunity regardless of their backgrounds. It also allows the learners to develop multiple perspectives and ways of thinking. More importantly, multicultural learning environments also provides ways of fighting baseless stereotypes and prejudicial behaviors. Last but not least, the multicultural learners have the opportunity to critique in regards to their social justice practices (Andrade, 141).
As, an international student pursuing education in foreign land, my core values include embracing diversity, hard work, altruism, and reliability as well as friendship. These core values are helpful in shaping the way I think, feel, and behave day-in and day-out especially in my multicultural environments here at UCSC. In order to succeed in achieving learning goals and objectives in multicultural learning environments, I believe that my personal core values are the most valuable yardsticks (Andrade, 137).
There are numerous reasons as to why most students may want to study in American. Studying abroad in an American university will allow for inval.

It Takes a Village: Building a Support System for Diversity AbroadCIEE
Racial/ethnic diversity in study abroad increased 10 percent from 2004 to 2014. Despite the increase, study abroad continues to fall low on students of color’s priority list. Irrespective of their rationale for not going, students of color continue to receive fewer messages that study abroad is worthwhile. To fill this gap, panelists in this session will argue that faculty involvement – particularly faculty of color– in the planning process and while on-site is imperative. The inclusion will allow students to see themselves reflected in study abroad programs and may increase the likelihood that students will participate. This session will feature multiple perspectives to demonstrate the important ways to utilize faculty in the effort to increase student of color participation.

HOW MINORITY RECRUITMENT AND ENROLLMENT IS EFFECTIVE ON PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS.
INTRODUCTION.
A predominantly white institution refers to an institution of higher learning that mainly comprises of white students and few other races such as African-Americans, Asians and Hispanic. The racial diversity in higher learning institutions across the United States of America is inconsistent since many colleges and campuses tend to be white. Minority and racial recruitment have become significant in general recruitment efforts at many predominantly white institutions. Despite the increased efforts a majority of learning institutions are still unsuccessful in increasing diversity on campus. In predominantly white institutions, it is difficult for foreign students to blend with the white. Most of them are despised, not only by their fellow students but also their teachers. They are never given attention and they are deemed stupid for any concerns they raise in class. This can lead to lower class participation, grades and in some cases even drop outs. This is why it is important for minority students in predominantly white institutions to have a strong support network. We therefore look at look at how minority recruitment and enrollment is now effective on predominantly white institutions.
Some predominantly white institutions have student groups that are dedicated in supporting the foreign students to adjustments. This includes organizations such as Asian Student Association, Black Cultural Society and South Asian Multicultural Organized Students Association. These organizations welcome and support students from other races and also create a network for students to people who remind them of their families. This is essential for a group of students who feel isolated and lack a sense of belonging.
The legal aspect of diversity in higher education system ensures increase in minority groups. The current efforts being made by institutes of higher education to increase diversity on campuses stems from early American segregation. The Supreme Court set legal standards for social conditions. Among them was the separate-but-equal legal standard, also called Plessy v. Ferguson, which was a legal justification for European Americans who attempted to keep the minority illiterate and submissive.
In order to further increased minority enrollment in American colleges and universities, the Supreme Court heard the case of Regents of the University of California v.Bakke in 1978. Bakke who is a student, was denied admission twice to a California medical school despite having better grades and test scores than successful minority applicants. Bakke was among the first to present grievances about affirmative action to court. Bakke clai.
