Abstract

Abstract This article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a cultural diversity training program for staff at a predominately white midwestern college by a BSW Social Work Program faculty member. Support staff had only minimal involvement in past diversity programs, yet they had the major responsibility of supervising students in the financial aid work-study program. Since more than 80% of the international students and 94% of American students of color participated in the work-study program, the staff supervisors had an overlooked but vital role in improving the climate for diversity on this campus. Descriptions of the planning process, training content, delivery strategies, and assessment approaches are included in the article. Evaluation results determined that the program was successful in teaching three diversity skills that participants were using in their work with students three months after the training sessions.
