| Abstract: | Every student deserves a welcoming university and college environment. In fact, it is impossible for students to thrive and succeed without feeling safe, valued, and cared for as they work toward earning a college degree. Universities should proudly proclaim their commitment to racial diversity and its educational benefits and remember their legal obligation to create equal learning environments that safeguard the civil rights of all students. As our nation's student body becomes increasingly diverse, the need to identify and ensure welcoming environments for all students, including racially minoritized ones, is paramount to ensure a strong multiracial democracy and workforce. In this brief, the authors highlight how campus leaders can create welcoming and equitable spaces for all of their students by using strategies informed by research and practice.
