"Edge Dancers: Mixed Heritage Identity Negotiation of Multi Ethnic/Racial/Marginalized College Students"
One of the fastest growing minority groups in the United States are persons of mixed race/ethnic identity. This workshop will describe the study that coined the term "edge dancers" and second, how this identity process is manifesting in higher education.

Inclusive institutional strategies for mixed race/ethnic college students will be presented and discussed.
