Did you know that only 45% of Black college seniors feel they have space and support to express themselves spiritually on campus? Their perceptions of spiritual support are lower than those expressed by any other racial identity group, according to the Interfaith Diversity Experiences and Attitudes Longitudinal Survey (IDEALS). This finding and related insights will be discussed next week at the Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA) Annual Conference. The session on March 21 (virtual) and 22 (in-person), “(Un)comfortable Being Here: How Campus Climate Impacts Belonging Among Black Students & What We Can Do About It,” will delve into Black students’ experiences of religious diversity and promote the work coming out of a newly assembled group of educators known as the IDEALS Race & Religion Research Collective.
