Abstract
Abstract: The Inclusivity Project’s mission is to give students a voice about their campus experience. In particular, it focuses on: student support services, employment, health care, residential experience, education, and public safety. Project members include Kayla Accordino, Daniela Bulos, Nayeri Jacobo, Amie Zwecker, Nickole Wickham, Catherine O’Connor; Advisors: Sara Kelly and Kendra Cadogan. The Inclusivity Project session will engage participants in meaningful reflection and discussion related to the campus climate for ethnic minority students at Brockport. As part of the Gold Leadership Certificate Program, this project was developed by students to learn more about the student experience, provide a voice for all students, and identify ways to enhance the experience of all students.
This session will focus on what an inclusive campus looks and feels like, and why and how the project was developed. Moreover, the session will share how the survey instrument was created, how the project was implemented, how results were tabulated, etc. Lastly, the session will discuss ways to enhance the inclusivity of our campus as a result of the survey results.
