According to Terrell, these changes in econom ics, demographics and international affairs bring with them waves of racism. “Every wave of immigrants that has come to this country has been greeted with hostility and violence,” she said. Terrell relates this to Meredith students by pointing outthatby the time they enter the workforce, 85 percent of the 25 million workers will be people of color, women, and immigrants. The conflicts that students have found on their college campus may also exist in their working environments. Terrell identified the conflicts on college cam puses as ranging from “name calling, property de struction, and on up to assault” While the majority of the student body may feel that their campus is racially tolerant, Terrell points out that in a 33 campus study about one in four minorities indicate that they have been victimized. Terrell emphasized that there are ways to over come problems of racism both on college campuses, and in society at large. She said that “open commu- 'nication, rationality andhonesty” are the tools needed “open doors to peaceful resolutioa” Terrell challenged Meredith students to act responsibly in their lives and careers because they will set the tone for race relations among future generations.
