Voices of Culturally Diverse Faculty on Strategies for Facilitating Their Success in Academia

Despite the benefits of culturally diverse faculty (CDF) in nursing education, studies on strategies to help them succeed in academia are lacking. The purposes of this article were to identify factors important for CDF's academic success by first surveying faculty teaching strategies that may be useful for CDF as they work with students, and to explore some factors that may be useful for administrators/leaders to help CDF be successful in academia. Data from 20 participants who met the inclusion criteria were used for data analysis. CDF seem to incorporate cultural issues in their teaching. A summary of teaching strategies and factors that CDF want from administrators/leaders are listed in this study.
