This guide is a remedy to that conundrum—a lucid and inspiring collection of useful strategies and actionable know-how’s on exactly how to make teaching more equitable and effective at the same time. A must-read for all teaching communities, it is a book whose time has come!”—Claude M. Steele, author of Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do “Colleges are racialized organizations whose practices maintain inequalities in academic opportunities and outcomes for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and marginalized Asian American and Pacific Islander students. This book gifts practitioners and their students with the knowledge and practices needed to transform the classroom into a site of racial justice.”—Estela Mara Bensimon, founder, USC Center for Urban Education “I can’t praise this book highly enough. The authors have produced a thoughtful and well-written guide to creating equity-minded college courses. Into their deft summaries of the research and theory they have woven well-chosen examples, plenty of starter tips, and material for further reflection. Change the lives of your students, and reshape your teaching, with the help of this essential book.”—James M. Lang, author of Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning

A practical guide to building the connections students need to thrive in and after college from the authors of the best-selling Relationship-Rich Education.Decades of research demonstrate how important the relationships with peers and professors are for students academically, personally, and professionally. Yet many students lack the strategies to develop educationally purposeful relationships in college. Connections Are Everything shows students the simple steps they can take to make their own college experience meaningful and transformational. In short, practical chapters, this guide helps readers learn how to build relationships through various strategies, including using "relationship accelerators" like internships and mentorships, undergraduate research, and campus employment. Undergraduate demographics have changed dramatically as students of color and first-generation students become the new majority at colleges and universities across the United States. Connections are particularly significant for these students; the positive—and negative—impacts of peer, faculty, and staff relationships are magnified. Higher education cannot meet students' needs or achieve equity, justice, and inclusion without relationship-rich education. This book empowers students to seek out relationships by demystifying the varied ways they can cultivate significant connections.
