Cultural diversity: students' perspectives.

This article is the result of the interest of several faculty members in obtaining information from students about their experiences with cultural diversity. Faculty identified a need for baseline information from the student population to assess the impact of diversity programs on campus. A small, volunteer group of 7 nursing students met for one focus group to share their experiences. The discussion supported the need for ongoing faculty-student interactions to promote cultural sensitivity and knowledge development about diversity within this university population.
