Kristen French, of Woodring College of Educations Multicultural Faculty Fellows Program, believes that others who wish to create a similar program need to first approach the process with dignity, having support for each member, and to make sure that the support involves forgiveness as well as solidarity. The program involves enacting knowledge, reflection, and actions, and is organized similarly to the Maori Spiral Discourse Model. At the beginning of the model is a long welcome, in which members develop relationships with each other, bringing in their own personal narratives and experiences with issues of equity and diversity.
