Abstract
ABSTRACT In this cross-sectional survey study, we examined the experiences of minority students’ involvement and their experiences in cultural clubs and organizations at community colleges. From two community colleges, 204 participants were invited to complete an online survey “Experience with diversity index”. The findings indicated a significant positive correlation between minority student involvement in cultural clubs and organizations, and their experience with cultural diversity. In other words, students who were involved in clubs and organizations reported that they were able to become acquainted with students from a different country, race, or ethnic background. Through their involvement, they were able to have discussions regarding religion, lifestyles, customs, and traditions. The findings also revealed that demographic information such as age, gender, and generational status did not contribute to minority students’ interactions with peers and faculty members at community colleges. Approximately 82% of participants reported being often or very often involved in culturally based clubs and organizations, whereas 18% reported little to occasional involvement.
