Are culturally engaging campus environments relevant to minority serving institutions?

Yes. Existing evidence suggests that culturally engaging campus environments are important at minority serving institutions (MSIs). In fact, existing research indicates that MSIs’ ability to cultivate such environments is one reason why some of them are effective at fostering success among their students. In the coming months and years, the CECE Project will be conducting research and publishing material to illuminate how some MSIs are cultivating culturally engaging campus environments to create the conditions for diverse students to thrive, so that we can generate a better understanding of how culturally engaging environments manifest at these institutions.
