Identity Growth of Minority Exchange Students Attending a Predominately White Institution (PWI)

Author: Silas Pippitt (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Iowa State’s National Student Exchange (NSE) welcomes students to campus from universities throughout North America. Many of these individuals are students of color departing significantly more diverse campuses and communities. The NSE experience requires these students to think deeply about their own identity and growth while attending a predominately white institution. This panel discussion will address the opportunities and challenges that minority exchange students face at Iowa State and will highlight their journey and experiences through campus and community life.
