Abstract
The presentation is a discussion of how those from Chicago, Kenya, Nepal, and Waterloo fit in at Iowa State University (ISU). How do Asian, African, Caucasian, Hispanic, Multiracial students from different backgrounds feel about Iowa State University. Does anyone really fit in? How do some people find the ISU environment more familiar than others? This presentation is meant to create sisterhood and brotherhood that transcends ethnicity, country of origin and race.
The video will capture feelings of ISU students regarding the campus environment and how they fit in. The video will also show how students usually make friends, and their feelings towards people that look different from them.
