Abstract

In this chapter, Newhart and Larkins highlight a study that explores a possible connection between elements of inclusivity and academic success. They outline several practices which were co-created with students in this initiative. Their chapter explores practices using an equity lens when engaging students in campus climate for diversity efforts which may go beyond a survey at a single point in time and turn into a productive, continual conversation between students and the institution.
