Study how to recognize subjects and verbs here.

One trick to finding the subject and verb in a long sentence like this is to put all prepositional phrases in parentheses; this isolates words that are never subjects and verbs!

I'll do that for you this time; then you can study about recognizing subjects and verbs and let me know what you decide.

The dedication (of professors) (to multiculturalism) is crucial (to encouraging students) (of all races) to succeed.
