Abstract	This study explored character connection journaling as a cultural immersion exercise in a multicultural counselling course at a Midwestern university in the United States. Qualitative data were collected from students' (N = 21) journal entries. The findings suggest that counsellors-in-training students value character connection journaling in a number of ways with many describing the significant impacts it has had on developing cultural empathy (empathic awareness, empathic perspective-taking, and empathic feeling and expression). The findings also revealed that six major categories (increased awareness of white privilege, increased awareness of microaggressions, challenging bias and open-mindedness, social initiative, self-reflection, and acknowledging limitations) emerged that reflected students' reactions to the character journaling experience. Implications for using character connection journaling as a cultural immersion exercise in multicultural counselling courses and future research are discussed. (As Provided).
