"The passion that comes through when hearing Stephen Peters speak is echoed in this call to capturing the students who are most often marginalized.

This book continually comes back to the relationships formed between students and staff, and to this end Peters provides a continuous drumbeat of advice." -- From the Foreword by Alan M. Blankstein
