This time it isn't his case of incurable homesickness returning; no, his attention is captured by his new quiet, elusive roommate.Maliah is a revelation to his world. She's the opposite of him in almost every way; petite, driven, and most surprisingly of all - she's black.Smart, focused, and talented, there is more to this young woman than meets the eye and he wants to know it all. Will she trust him enough to let him in? What changes in his life will she bring? How can he fit into her life? How can she fit into his?They come from two different worlds but will they connect for longer than the Fall semester?

"This book offers a much-needed appraisal of two key social change movements within higher education: civic engagement and social innovation.
