Year: 2020
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to identify co-curricular engagement opportunities that will effectively connect with African American/Black students to foster a great sense of belonging.The intent was to hear directly from students regarding the barriers to participating in cocurricular opportunities and what they would like to see offered.Eight students took place in a focus group and the qualitative results were powerful and point to the intense relational connection to faculty and the need to find mentors similar to themselves for the purposes of guidance to succeeding in the dominant culture where they are most often marginalized.The findings are important for creating action at the college to improve the campus culture.
