Abstract
Does a student's hometown background affect their perspective on campus climate? This session will examine this question with regard to African Americans at Iowa State. African-American students from three hometown environments—predominately white, ethnically mixed, and predominately black—were interviewed at length to explore the question above. This presentation combines several forms of media to convey the findings while provoking thought and discussion among the participants.
