Overall Opportunities for Im Improvement

For the purposes of this CAP, inclusive means, students, staff and faculty will feel:

Sense of Belonging: Recipients identify well with their own cultural group and with the college itself. Sense of Confidence: Recipients view their own cultures and histories as being creative, authentic and worthy of sharing with people of other cultures. Sense of Power: Recipients understand, from the perspectives of their own cultures, how influence is used in college, how are decisions really made and who makes them. They participate in using influence and making decisions. Sense of Security: Recipients know that the various elements of their cultures can find a high level of incorporation into the life of the college.

Adapted from Dr. Terrell Strayhorn, “Sense of Belonging” and Dr. John Powell, “Othering and Belonging”
