What is the Diversity Awareness Profile?
It is a tool to gauge the change in student perception.
It was used in my Title IV grant from the U.S. Department of Education Programs for International Education for three years.
Diversity Awareness Profile was used at pre-departure and post-departure.
Over 530 surveys were collected from October 2001 to June 2007.
[There are better and newer measurement tools. Please refer to a list compiled by Alvino E. Fantini.]
