NASPA's Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
NASPA strives to place equity, particularly racial equity, at the center of our decisions about professional development, policy, scholarship, and membership. This means recognizing, challenging, and changing exclusionary structures embedded in educational, association, and organizational systems.
We do this by convening institutions, members, and partners to develop and elevate inclusive practices, providing resources and access points for educators from minoritized communities to navigate the field of student affairs, providing race-conscious research and recommendations for institutions and practitioners, and advocating for equitable legislation and policy.
As we deepen our critical understanding and work, centering equity at NASPA requires compassion, focus, intention, courage, accountability, collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to learning.

The qualitative case study explored the factors that foster an atmosphere of belonging for men of color (MOC) attending a two-year Predominantly White Institution (PWI). The pressing issue is that PWI colleges erroneously assume that an extension or invitation of welcome is the same as fostering a sense of belonging for men of color (MOC). This led colleges to construct policies and practices that do not intentionally and deliberately create an atmosphere where MOC feel valued, validated, and visible.
