Abstract
This qualitative study explored 16 undocumented Latinx college students’ perceptions of campus climate through the lens of sense of belonging. Barriers to belonging include: (a) experiencing racism and hostility from majoritized students, (b) limited visibility of other Latinx and/or undocumented students, and (c) blocked social opportunities. Pathways to belonging include identity-based student organization involvement. A discussion of the culturally engaging campus environment model explores promoting sense of belonging, followed by recommendations for future research.
