The fast/vast demographic shifts in American society now demand for equally dramatic changes in preparation for counseling professionals, An impressive supply of theories and training models of multicultural counseling are available in literature to supplement and/or alter the traditional counseling. Multicultural issues are addressed in most recent published or revised texts in counseling. All call for competencies in awareness, knowledge, and skills of the counselor/counselor trainee when counseling client cross culturally. The paper further challenges the cultural encapsulation of the curriculum and who ultimately mentor the counselor-trainees for pluralism. In addition, it presents an infusion model of curricula strategies that promotes pluralism transcending all instructional, research, counseling/supervisory, and administrative activities of the counselor educator.
