Exploring Cultural Identity and Inclusivity at LSU.
The transition from high school to college marked a significant period of personal growth for Desiray. For minority students, particularly those from Hispanic culture, this transition can be accompanied by unique challenges related to racial identity & inclusivity. Desi’s narratives and reflections gave me insight into her experiences and her strategies for navigating cultural differences at LSU and giving her a sense of belonging at the University.
Hispanic minority students encounter stereotypes, discrimination, and a lack of cultural representation, which can impact their academic performance, mental well-being, and sense of belonging.
