The research team administered a survey and used the feedback from respondents to craft the presentation. This presentation was accepted and presented at both College Student Educators International (ACPA) and Student Affairs Professionals in Higher Education (NASPA) Annual Conferences in March 2018.

DECEMBER 2017

This original group assessment project was created on the shared interest of its members who sought to explore the intersection of racial and academic identities. We explored sense of belonging for Norman Brown Diversity and Leadership Program scholars, who are high-achieving students of color, at IUPUI. Our findings were presented at the GAP Symposium at IU Bloomington on December 1, 2017. Our paper will also be published in the SPA at Indiana University Journal in April 2018.
