In her 2005 doctoral dissertation, Dr. Ugwu reported the prediction that community colleges would continue to experience growth in enrollment and diversity. It is now 2017 and this prediction is largely true. While growth in enrollment may not have been consistent, growth in student diversity has exploded. This book delivers a scholarly research study by student success and diversity advocate, Dr. Patricia Ifeoma Ugwu, on effective instructional approaches that exceptional faculty use to engage diverse students in the classroom. Using critical incident technique, in-depth interviews, and focus groups the author identifies effective and ineffective instructional strategies for teaching diverse students. The findings of Dr. Ugwu's study provide instructional leaders and administrators with relevant information to guide decisions in dealing with an increasingly more diverse student body.
Dr. Patricia Ugwu is currently the Dean of Student Success & Engagement at Houston Community College (HCC) Coleman College for Health Sciences located in the Texas Medical Center. She provides leadership to a comprehensive student services division that includes: Admission & Enrollment, Testing, Advising, Counseling, Intake & Retention as well as Learning Support and is the Co-Lead to HCC's District Eagle Early Alert Program.

In Texas, Patricia directed and managed a federally funded program, YouthBuild, for the city of Galveston and later, YouthBuild Houston Community College.

While in this position, Patricia went back to graduate school and earned another master's degree, this time in Counseling. In her first year as a counselor, Patricia was selected to chair the Counseling department and she held this position for over ten years, before accepting her current position as a Dean at HCC Coleman.
