Abstract
This study discussed the history of integration and diversity of college campuses and universities, the reasons and importance of diversity on college campuses and question whether or not colleges and universities are effectively multicultural. The results found were that these places of higher education are not as effective as they could be and that often campus officials are not aware of the lack of welcome or are uneducated on how to promote effective dialogue to encourage a sense of belonging as well as educate those who are unaware of their biases. The conclusion was that campuses need to every so often asses their campus climate and evaluate their policies and programs to ensure multicultural students feel welcomed and that they belong.
