When we call on God and lay our needs and desires before Him, we can personalize His presence and define Him in a tangible way. Has He ever healed you? If so, He can be defined as Jehovah-Rophe. Has He made a way for you when it seemed as if there was absolutely, positively no way? Then He can be defined as Jehovah-Jireh. When God moves for you in a way that totally encapsulates your situation, you can''t help but identify with one of the many names, and attributes, He possesses.

Over the past several decades, higher education has been transformed by the entry of faculty of color and women into the university system. Through detailed institutional ethnographies of three very different universities, Privilege and Diversity in the Academy explores how this diversification has dismantled and reconfigured relationships of privilege and diversity in higher education. Authors Maher and Tetreault use examples from a top-ranked private university, a comprehensive urban university, and a major public university to illustrate how privilege is enacted, resisted, and transformed as changes occur in the student bodies and faculties of these schools. In their analyses, they identify the institutional structures that facilitate the success of a diverse faculty and make valuable observations about patterns of institutional change and resistance.
